Production company CMN PPL FLMS announce the signing of Sylvie Weber for representation.
Weber’s films are steeped in poetic realism, like a delicate recording of the emotional conditions of humanity, its virtues and weaknesses. They often inherit a magical twist by taking refuge in her own paradise, her imagination.
Of German-Dominican descent, questions of belonging have been a driving force in her filmic exploration. Her ability to bend genres and seamlessly navigate between formats is often fuelled by a focus to shift our gaze and rework historical injustice. Her debut short, The Prophetess, has won and travelled several film festivals around the globe.
Emily Crofton-Atkins said: “A delightful, versatile Director. Sylvie’s able to capture real life stories, emotionally exploring difficult topics and equally have a strong visual style on short form live action. We’re really looking forward to collaborating.”
Sylvie Weber adds: “I'm excited to partner with Common People, a company that has a reputation of supporting and helping their artists execute their best vision. I can’t wait to start our artistic journey together.”
