Director Kate Halpin expands her representation with Sweetshop into the US.
Global Production company
Halpin is a prolific Director whose comedy performance and dialogue directing has seen her popularity and demand skyrocket over the last couple of years since signing with Sweetshop in the Southern Hemisphere. She has a meticulous eye for detail and a bold, striking aesthetic. She gravitates towards both ends of the genre spectrum, specialising in understated, stylised comedy, or dark, gritty drama. Halpin has a background in production design and acting, which are evident in her unique visual style, distinctive colour palettes, and the nuanced performances she draws from actors.
Halpin has directed TV commercials across Australia and internationally for brands such as LG, TK Maxx, Hyundai, Nintendo, Uber, Arnott’s Tim Tams, P&O Cruises, NSW Health, RAA and UEFA World Cup. She was awarded a Cannes Silver Lion and an ADG ‘Best Director’ award for her work. Her films have screened at over 35 festivals worldwide.
Kate’s beautifully irreverent comedic style and collaborative nature with all creatives will win hearts across the USA.
Halpin added, “I’m beyond excited that Sweetshop wants me to have a crack at the US market. I have loved working with Sweetshop in Australia over the past couple of years and it’s humbling to be offered a new challenge. I can’t wait to collaborate with some of the best in the biz and create some colourful magic together.”
