The director behind King Richard and Bob Marley: One Love, signs with The Sweetshop UK & USA.
Some directors make films, but film maker Reinaldo Marcus Green makes you feel things you didn't expect to feel, about people you thought you already knew.
The Academy Award winning writer and director has officially signed with The Sweetshop for representation across the UK and USA, and we'd be lying if we said we weren't a little giddy about it.
“Reinaldo's body of work is staggering.” says Jeff Miller, USA Managing Director. “What makes him so extraordinary isn't just the scale of what he's made, it's the intimacy he finds within it. There's a rare generosity in how he sees his subjects, which draws extraordinary performances out of his cast, and draws audiences in completely.”
His feature King Richard earned six Oscar nominations and a Best Actor win for Will Smith. His debut Monsters and Men took the Special Jury Prize at Sundance. Bob Marley: One Love became a global box office phenomenon. Green's track record speaks for itself. Add We Own This City, Netflix's Top Boy, the newly released Disney+ Special The Punisher: One Last Kill, and the in development Tiger Woods biopic and you start to get the picture.
On joining The Sweetshop UK & USA, says Green "I love telling stories, period. It's the place where I get to play as an adult and feel completely free. The Sweetshop is an extension of that: meaningful stories, real craft, and a little fun while we're at it. That's everything I need."
“Working with a filmmaker of this calibre is incredibly exciting; having stepped onto Reinaldo’s first commercial project together it was immediately apparent what that experience means for the final film, how he elevates those around him. There’s no question of the craft and humanity in his work, and as someone who is both incredibly hard-working and incredible to work with, we’re extremely proud to bring into the commercial and branded world” adds Morgan Whitlock, Managing Director of The Sweetshop UK
Green is now available for commercial, branded, and short-form work across the UK and USA through The Sweetshop.
