    CHICAGO --

    Live action production company Strange Loop Studios has brought director/writer Kiki Allgeier aboard its commercialmaking roster. This marks Allgeier’s first official signing with a production house for spot representation as a director. She had previously been freelancing.

    Allgeier seamlessly navigates storytelling from a passion for doc-style and sensibility to enhancing pure moments even in scripted short form. Her feature doc FEMMEfille is available to stream on Amazon following its theatrical and TV run in Europe, while her commercial client list includes Cadillac, Le Meridien, Lexus, Ray-Ban, goop and Nickelodeon. 

    “When curating the Strange Loop roster, we look at both the body of work and the person behind it,” said Strange Loop EP Luca Valente. “Kiki exemplifies a voice and vision that exudes raw talent, confidence and grace. We are thrilled to have her on the team and know that with her at the helm, our clients will walk away with not just great quality content, but a top-notch experience as well.”

    Allgeier said of her Strange Loop connection, “Together we plan to create visually compelling stories that authentically bring to light humanity. Impossible to do this without like-minded partners, which I now have in Luca and his team. I couldn’t ask for better commercial representation.”

    Strange Loop is repped by SG+Partners in the Midwest and Yvette Represents on the West Coast.

    Jules Feiffer, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Cartoonist and Writer, Dies At 95

    Tuesday, January 21, 2025

    Jules Feiffer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist and writer whose prolific output ranged from a long-running comic strip to plays, screenplays and children's books, died Friday. He was 95 and, true to his seemingly tireless form, published his last book just four months ago.

    Feiffer's wife, writer JZ Holden, said Tuesday that he died of congestive heart failure at their home in Richfield Springs, New York, and was surrounded by friends, the couple's two cats and his recent artwork.

    Holden said her husband had been ill for a couple of years, "but he was sharp and strong up until the very end. And funny."

    Artistically limber, Feiffer hopscotched among numerous forms of expression, chronicling the curiosity of childhood, urban angst and other societal currents. To each he brought a sharp wit and acute observations of the personal and political relations that defined his readers' lives.

    As Feiffer explained to the Chicago Tribune in 2002, his work dealt with "communication and the breakdown thereof, between men and women, parents and children, a government and its citizens, and the individual not dealing so well with authority."

    Feiffer won the United States' most prominent awards in journalism and filmmaking, taking home a 1986 Pulitzer Prize for his cartoons and "Munro," an animated short film he wrote, won a 1961 Academy Award. The Library of Congress held a retrospective of his work in 1996.

    "My goal is to make people think, to make them feel and, along the way, to make them smile if not laugh," Feiffer told the South Florida Sun Sentinel in 1998. "Humor seems to me one of the best ways of espousing ideas. It gets people to listen with their guard down."

    Feiffer was born on Jan. 26, 1929, in the Bronx. From... Read More
