Director and Writer Alex Russell’s film follows a retail employee who infiltrates the inner circle of an artist on the verge of mainstream success. As he gets closer to the budding star, access and proximity become a matter of life and death. Starring Théodore Pellerin, Archie Madekwe, Havana Rose Liu, Sunny Suljic, Zack Fox, Daniel Zolghadri, and Olawale Onayemi. Join us in-person from Jan 23–Feb 2 or watch online.

Arts & Sciences London announces the addition of acclaimed filmmaker John Hillcoat to our roster of directors. Known for his storytelling genius in both advertising and narrative films, Hillcoat is a powerhouse in the industry. With an impressive collection of awards—including Cannes Lions, AICP, ANDY, ADC, One Show, and Clios—he’s one of the most respected directors working today. Earlier this year, Hillcoat joined SKUNK as a partner and rostered director for representation in the US market. SKUNK MD and Founder Matt Factor has a long-standing relationship with A&S London partners Mal Ward and James Bland. When Factor and Hillcoat were looking for the best strategic fit for London representation, Arts & Sciences was the strongest choice to look after Hillcoat in what is arguably one of the most coveted creative markets. Hillcoat’s work, distinguished by its cinematic lyricism and narrative nuance, has made him a go-to collaborator for brands aiming to transcend the ordinary. His cinematic résumé includes lauded features like The Proposition, Lawless, Triple 9, and his evocative adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, a competition entry at the Venice Film Festival. Hillcoat has also distinguished himself as an acclaimed episodic director. His work on Showtime’s George & Tammy, starring Jessica Chastain and Michael Shannon, earned widespread praise and multiple Emmy nominations. He has also helmed episodes of Special Ops: Lioness for Paramount+ and Netflix’s Black Mirror, directing the haunting episode Crocodile, which received an Excellence Award for Short Film at the Seoul International Drama Awards. 🎥

Arts & Sciences is excited to welcome director Hannah Pearl Utt to our roster. Hannah is an actor, writer and director who grew up in Santa Barbara, California - the Mike Mills version, not the Nancy Meyers version - a largely feral autodidact, and came to filmmaking through her love of beauty, eccentricity and community. Hannah’s latest feature film, Cora Bora, starring comedian and “Hacks” scene stealer, Megan Stalter premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival to sold out screenings and critical acclaim. The film landed her on IndieWire’s 28 Female Filmmakers to Watch list, was theatrically released by Brainstorm Media and acquired by Netflix for streaming starting in 2025. Hannah’s first feature film, Before You Know It, starring Judith Light, Mandy Patinkin and Alec Baldwin, which she also co-wrote and starred in, premiered in competition at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. The film was described by The Hollywood Reporter as “push[ing] the boundaries of what movies made from the female gaze can mean to audiences of all kinds,” and got her dad to finally say he was proud of her. Before diving into feature work, Hannah co-created, starred in and directed the Superdeluxe digital series Disengaged, with friend and collaborator, Jen Tullock, where she honed her skills in short-form storytelling, character-based comedy and navigating codependent relationships. Hannah co-wrote/produced and starred in the Sundance short, Partners, after which, she began a relationship with the Sundance Institute that led to her participation in numerous artist programs, including their inaugural Catalyst Women’s Initiative, Screenwriter and Directors Lab, Film Two feature lab, and as a mentor to young filmmakers in Ignite (one of whom is now an Academy Award nominee - Hannah gives really good advice). 🎥

The world premier of Doug Aitken’s Lightscape is tonight at The Walt Disney Concert Hall- Lightscape is an innovative multimedia artwork created by the artist Doug Aitken in collaboration with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. It’s a modern mythology propelled by music that asks the questions, “where are we now?” and “where are we going?” Lightscape is a shapeshifting act of contemporary storytelling that unfolds in various stages: a feature-length film, a multi-screen fine art installation, and a series of live musical performances. Following its concert premiere, Lightscape migrates to the Marciano Art Foundation in the form of a multi-screen art exhibition running from December 17, 2024 through March 15, 2025 with weekly live music activations curated by the LA Phil, the Los Angeles Master Chorale, and Doug Aitken. ⚡️ Written & Directed by: Doug Aitken Produced by: LA Phil Music & Artistic Direction: Gustavo Dudamel Produced by: LA Master Choral Produced by: Doug Aitken Workshop Produced by: Arts & Sciences Producer: John Baker Producer & Script Development: Andrew Zipern Producer & Script Development: Austin Meredith EP: Mal Ward, Marc Marrie, Matt Aselton HOP: Milena Milicevic UPM: Kat Barnette DOP: Chris Hadland & Doug Aitken Editors: Austin Meredith & Haines Hall PD: Gerald Sullivan & Tom Castronovo Costume: Kameron Lennox & Ellen Schaefer Casting: Shay Nielsen Sound: Drazen Bosnjak @ Q Department

From director Fiona McGee on her new and important campaign for Breast Cancer Foundation New Zealand- “A superbly written campaign for a worthy cause. More than 60% of crew on set were female and it was nice to flip the ratio for a brief moment in time. It’s 🍌’s to think this is so, so outside of normal. And on that note, to all my friends with breasts. Know you’re normal. If you notice something that’s not, get checked. Early detection is 🔑 Thanks to the idea makers @tobyct @kristal_knight Chelsea Sietses & Matt Woods. And to Mark Foster who did a lot more than help us open jars.
