    LOS ANGELES --

    Music, audio postproduction and sonic branding company Barking Owl has added award-winning composer, songwriter and music producer Dan Romer to its roster that includes the likes of Atticus Ross and Dan Deacon. Barking Owl will exclusively represent Romer for advertising and branded content.

    Romer’s scores include Woman of the Hour (Netflix), Self Reliance (Hulu), The Promised Land (Magnolia), Station Eleven (HBO MAX), Pixar’s Luca (Disney+), four-time Oscar-nominated Beasts of the Southern Wild (Searchlight), Maniac (Netflix), The Good Doctor (ABC), Beasts of No Nation (Netflix), Atypical (Netflix), and Emmy Award-winning series Ramy (Hulu).

    In addition to his scoring work, Romer produced several worldwide hit singles for numerous acclaimed artists including, A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera’s Grammy-winning “Say Something,” and Shawn Mendes’ “Treat You Better.”

    Johanna Cranitch, creative director, Barking Owl, said: “I’ve known Dan Romer through our friend circle for some time. As a fellow composer, I’ve long admired his work and his score for The Beasts Of The Southern Wild still takes my breath away many years later. Dan’s melodic sensibility coupled with his innovative use of instruments and found sounds for his scores, makes him an unparalleled talent amongst his contemporaries. He weaves traditional with modern in such a beautiful way, telling bold and heartfelt stories through his music. I’m thrilled professionally and personally to see him come into the fold at Barking Owl as not only a colleague but a friend. In the true Barking Owl fashion, the lines between business and family are beautifully blurred.”

    Carol Dunn, managing director, Barking Owl, added: “Barking Owl is making strategic, incremental growth and from that, our ability to attract the strongest creative partners. Dan arrives with a wealth of experience, and an impressive IMDB page to boot.”

    Romer said, “I’m very excited to be joining the family over at Barking Owl and to collaborate with Carol, Johanna and team on some of their amazing projects.”

    Production company Identity has brought Gloria Colangelo on board as managing partner.

    Having spent decades in the production industry in senior roles, including a lengthy tenure as executive producer at companies Assembly and MacGuffin Films, Colangelo brings a wealth of experience to her new position at Identity, which marks a professional evolution of her own. “After an incredibly fulfilling career, I reached a point where I was ready to take on a new challenge and pursue a longtime goal of becoming a partner--playing a more direct role in shaping a company’s vision, fostering talent, and driving meaningful growth,” she said.

    As managing partner at Identity, Colangelo effectively reunites with former colleague, EP Molly Mitchell, and assumes a more hands-on role in shaping the company’s vision and trajectory. “Molly and I are deeply involved,” said Colangelo, “in every aspect of production, from sales and bidding to overseeing shoots and wrapping jobs. This approach feels natural to me, as I’ve always thrived in a role where I’m engaged in all stages of the process. I’m also extremely grateful for the opportunity to be working with owner/EP Joe Masi, someone who I’d admired from afar, and having the support of his belief in our vision.”

    Along with her day-to-day operations, Colangelo is also playing a pivotal role in bolstering Identity’s already strong roster of directing talent.
