Artist

Janis Pugh

Janis Pugh’s debut film, Chuck Chuck Baby, (BFI/BBC Films) has just had a UK and US theatrical release. The film then went on to win the Welsh BAFTA for Best Feature and Janis won the BAFTA Cymru Breakthrough award. The feature is a musical drama celebrating female love and friendship. It’s a beautiful piece of filmmaking and a terrific debut from an exciting director. She is an award winning writer/director. Janis grew up in North Wales surrounded by dynamic, working-class women. Their tangible force of energy and humour is something she reflects in her work, which explores the beauty and brutality of life. The inclusion of song and music is a significant part of her work. Music is used to convey the wants and desires of her characters. It does more than build mood and atmosphere; it becomes an integral part of the narrative. Janis’s films have screened at festivals worldwide. Her short film BLUE COLLARS AND BUTTERCUPS won the Kodak Creative Filmmaking award. It was screened at Locarno Film Fest, Brest European Film Festival, Tampere International Film Festival and many more. Her operatic short BUTTERFLY (ITV Wales) was nominated for a Welsh BAFTA.

Alysha Ameen

Alysha Ameen is a very exciting talent who joined the agency in late 2021. Alysha’s debut pilot OREO garnered fierce interest from a number of top tier production companies which resulted in a competitive auction before the project was optioned by one of the UK’s leading production companies.

Spotlight CV

Bálint Szentgyörgyi

Bálint created, wrote and directed HBO Europe’s THE INFORMANT which is set to TX in 2022. THE INFORMANT, produced by HBO Europe and Proton Cinema, plunges us into the Hungary of the 1980s, between hope and tragedy, thanks to a very careful reconstruction. The story is told through the daily life of Geri (Gergely Váradi), a young student forced to become an informant for the state security services, who for the first time tastes the joys of student parties and the camaraderie that arises from the revolutionary speeches that float through the air in his dormitory.
