London hive for Hornet

New York and Brooklyn-based production company Hornet has announced that it's opened shop in London’s Shoreditch area. The new office will be headed up by former Passion Pictures producer Lisa Hill as executive producer.

“I’ve always felt that the London community had great integrity and respect for the craft," commented Hornet managing director Michael Feder. “About half our business comes from Europe — we already represent directors in the UK, Amsterdam, Paris and Barcelona — but London comprises the bulk of our work. Although we’ve had great companies represent us in the past, at this time, it felt right to strike out on our own.” 

Hill will work with a roster of directors that includes Yves Geleyn, Dan & Jason, Peter Sluszka, Julia Pott, Gabe Askew, Eran Hilleli and Parallel. Hornet’s roster is due to expand following the move with David Luepschen joining in February and two additional signings to follow shortly after.
