    LONDON --

    Pulse Films has hired Nnena Nwakodo as executive producer in its music videos division. Nwakodo will be responsible for the management and development of the studio’s directing talent across its music video roster, and signing new filmmakers into the studios ecosystem. She will report into Rik Green, head of music videos. 

    Nwakodo joins Pulse Films following her most recent position as a producer at advertising agency BBH. 

    Outside of her producer position, Nwakodo is also the co-founder of Unsigned, an exhibition and platform that promotes up and coming photographers, illustrators and filmmakers. The platform exists to promote and elevate the most exciting emerging talent from across the industry. It was established in response to her observation that advertising agencies were working with a small, elite handful of artists and not embracing untapped talent. Nwakodo’s ability to spot and nurture new talent resulted in Unsigned featuring over 80 artists since its launch in 2018.

    The list of directors with whom the 69-year-old has worked with more than once is extensive, including Wes Anderson,Yorgos Lanthimos,Paul Schrader,Lars von Trier and, now for a third time, Robert Eggers. "If it's good, you come back," Dafoe said plainly.

    The pair spoke about Eggers' adaptation of "Nosferatu" that hits theaters Wednesday, some of the challenges they faced making "The Lighthouse" — their first project together released in 2019 — and the unique relationship that exists between actors and directors.

    The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.

    Q: Willem, I read that you called Robert after you saw "The Witch." What did you say?

    DAFOE: I want to meet you and I want to know who this filmmaker is.

    Q: What is it about him that keeps bringing you back?

    DAFOE: Well, if it's good, you come back. When I saw "The Witch," I thought, "Wow, this is a film about a period that I'm not particularly knowledgeable about, but I enter it so easily. This is relevant. It's rooted. It's my story. I'm with these people."

    That's quite an incredible trick because a lot of period films, they're always pointing to themselves. They're always sending messages. They're always showing. This had a kind of energy and the kind of physicality and sensuality that I thought, "Who does this? I gotta see this guy." And then I had a wonderful experience in "The Lighthouse" and I played a part that was really fun in "The Northman." So, when he wants to do this passion project and offers me this beautiful role of Professor Von Franz, I say,... Read More
