Partizan announces Resource as west coast rep

Production company Partizan has announced that it is joining forces with the repping firm Resource, which is led by Dana Balkin.

Partizan says that the alignment with Resource perfectly positions the company for its next growth phase. 

Partizan says that Balkin [above left], alongside partner Frank Antonoff [above right] and rep Allie O’Brien Stevens [above centre], brings a clear-cut vision and style to management, with Resource boasting a highly curated roster of A-list content creators, as well as rising talent. 

“Taking what we have achieved in the past 30 years and growing that presence in new directions is exciting, and including Resource in that growth is so profound,” sais Partizan Founder Georges Bermann. “Dana and her team will certainly be a catalyst towards the future of Partizan.” 

The strategic appointment comes after almost four years of current Head of Sales and Executive Producer, Mike Lobikis, overseeing sales for the territory. “This partnership is very much centred around the respect I have for Dana, Frank, and Allie,” said Lobikis. “They are high-level talent builders in this industry, and I appreciate how they operate.”  

"Their taste is completely in line with the Partizan brand, and the range and extent of their relationships makes them outstanding at realising our vision for every director on the roster as well as the company at large,” added Managing Director Lisa Tauscher of the new sales structure.  

Additionally, Partizan has recently brought on new Executive Producer Angela Foster to lead its dedicated animation division, Partizanstudio. Featuring a roster of multidisciplinary artists including Pete Candeland, Art Camp, H5, Weareseventeen, Andrew Khosravani, Nerdo, and more, Partizanstudio will be a key area of focus for Resource.

“Partizan has always been a creative leader,” states Balkin. “They continue to hold a really unique place in our industry by being a company committed to the work above all, whether it’s with legacy or emerging talent. We are happy to be part of their next chapter.”
