Moves this week at Method Films, A Band Apart, Brand New School, PostWorks, Company X, @radical.media and FilmCore Editorial
Former managing director of Method Films, Fiona Gillam, has joined Believe Media to head sales and marketing in the London office.
Director Jennifer Little has signed to A Band Apart for exclusive representation in the US for commercials. It is the first time she has had US representation. A native of Canada, where she is signed to Circle Productions, Little started her career at Apple Box Productions in Toronto and created an immediate stir when her first spot, The Big Tiff, for Toronto agency Rethink won a Bessie. Since then she has shot spots for brands including Ford and the British Columbia Lotto and directed two episodes of the reality TV series Crash Test Mommy.
Brand New School has taken on two executive producers: Jennifer Sofio for the West Coast office, and Brent Holt for the East Coast. Sofio was formerly in the same role at creocollective. Holt, who has worked both on the agency and production sides, was most recently executive producer at Little Bull Films in Torino, Italy. Brand New School has also taken on Meghan Lang as its new in-house West Coast sales rep, and Paul Saylor of BS Worldwide to represent the company in the Midwest.
PostWorks has signed film and television technical pioneer and producer Joe Beirne in the new position of senior technical advisor. Beirne was the technical supervisor on Michael Moore's award-winning Fahrenheit 9/11, Martin Scorsese's No Direction Home, and Eugene Jarecki's Why We Fight, and he has also produced projects ranging from M&Co's groundbreaking Talking Heads video (Nothing but) Flowers to Godfrey Reggio's Naqoyqatsi.
Terence Ziegler has joined New York-based Company X as a staff editor. Previously at The Well, Ziegler cut his first project - a Super Bowl spot for US West - at Invisible Dog. Recent work includes spots for Gillette Venus through BBDO New York and Publix through WestWayne, Florida.
@radical.media has hired Dom Bernacchi and Chiara Chung in sales positions. Bernacchi, who will be based in the company's Santa Monica office, joins from Partizan, where he was West Coast rep. Chung, who is based in Chicago, was previously Midwest rep for national editorial company Red Car.
FilmCore Editorial has retained Christy Van House for commercial representation on the West Coast and in Texas. In addition to her new role at FilmCore, Van House continues as director of marketing and sales for Hest & Kramer Music.
