'Hairspray' Director John Waters Joins Saville, Believe Signs Tellander
Posted in: Uncategorized
Saville Productions has signed “Hairspray” director John Waters for commercial and branded entertainment representation. The writer/director/actor has helmed cult films including “Hairspray,” “Pecker” and “Pink Flamingos,” which was the first in a series of low-budget films made with his Dreamland repertory company and featuring the actor known as Divine. Waters said in a statement: “I love the idea of directing commercials because it is the opposite of ‘auteur’ work. My name’s not even on the finished product but if I do a good job, the viewer will still suspect I had something to do with it.”
Swedish director Filip Tellander has joined Believe Media for representation in the U.S. Tellander has been directing commercials internationally for more than 10 years. Known for his automotive work, he has also helmed spots for such clients as Nike and H&M, as well as music videos and short films. His most recent project took him to Cuba, where he directed the new H&M Spring line for kids. He continues to be represented by Indio in Sweden and Quad in France.
