Partners Julianne Hausler and Carolyn Hill work with a varied pool of global talent, Hausler handling management and Hill overseeing commercial ventures. Cathy Pellow, who founded the company with Hausler in 1997 is now exec producer of Original Film, a company repped by Hill on the East Coast and in the mid-West. What's more, Hill reps Peter Martinez of Urban Myth Media and three European directors, Jean-Pierre Roux (of Pac in Paris), Othmar Sweers (of Balsa Films, Amsterdam) and Jan Houllevigue.

"We have been judicious about choosing our clients. When Cathy and I began, she insisted we build a brand rather than indiscriminately signing whoever we could," says Hausler. "We reached out to Europe and brought their work to the forefront in the US. We did that by going for cinematographers first and foremost."

The New York Office has an impressive roster of cinematographers, including Patrick Duroux, Olivier Cocaul, Serge Roman and Christos Voudoris; editors including multi-disciplinarian cutters like Alexander Hall; and costume designers like the ever-stylish Kasia Walicka Maimone.

"We have a great support staff, and because I have a long-standing knowledge of the commercial business, we can brainstorm to connect people to whoever they need," says Hill.
