Stink welcomes directors Alice Fassi, Jodeb and Quentin Deronzier to its international talent roster.
Stink announce the signing of Alice Fassi, Jodeb and Quentin Deronzier to its global roster.
The three signings bring distinct creative voices to Stink’s offering, spanning a diverse output across music videos and commercials.
Each signing reflects an individual creative relationship between the director and Stink. The directors will be exclusively represented by Stink for commercials and music videos, while maintaining their existing relationship with LA\PAC in France.
Fassi subverts familiar cinematic language to create absurdist scenarios with style. Across commercials and music videos, she takes a craft-first approach, building worlds where elevated comedy, fashion and visual trickery intersect. Working fluidly across disciplines and mediums, Fassi places an eye for strong art direction, costume and colour at the heart of her filmmaking. Her distinctive visual language can be seen in work for Salomon, Audemars Piguet, Vogue and more.
“I’ve always thought life was a little too absurd to take seriously. Luckily, the people at Stink seem to agree. Can’t wait to make some funny nonsense together!” said Fassi.
Jodeb combines powerful storytelling with a visceral sensibility. As a multi-disciplinary talent that directs, writes, and edits, he has developed a career creating visually-astounding films. With a penchant for blending fiction and reality, Jodeb’s work has caught the attention of international audiences and brands. Jodeb’s breathtaking music videos means he is sought after by some of today’s most popular artists, including Deftones, A$AP Rocky, The Weekend, Skrillex, Jack White, London Grammar, Halsey, Swedish House Mafia, Cypress Hill and more.
“There is so much noise out there, and I want to make ads that are genuinely worth people's time. I want every film to feel like a world of its own, an adventure, a place where you can lose yourself and experience something new. It's exciting for me to join Stink in this fight for a more inspiring kind of filmmaking.” adds Jodeb.
Deronzier builds extraordinary worlds where magic and ambition intertwine. His films play with space, scale and perspective, drawing viewers into worlds where logic reveals itself as the story unfolds. Straddling fashion, music and branded, his work pushes beyond reality. Working fluidly across mediums, Deronzier harnesses technical innovation, seamless transitions, visual effects and cinematic craft to bring audacious visions to life. His work spans collaborations with leading names across fashion, sport and music, including Nike, Louis Vuitton, Mugler, Drake, The Weeknd and Doja Cat.
“I just want to keep making things people haven’t seen before. Stink and LA\PAC are the right people to do that with.” said Derozier.
Stink will draw on its relationships and production expertise to build each director’s presence in the UK and the US, creating new opportunities while advancing their individual creative ambitions.
“Jodeb, Alice and Quentin are three very different directors and it's great to welcome each one of them to Stink. Jodeb is a true artist who we've followed for a long time, Alice is an amazing emerging director with so much potential, she is already making her mark, and Quentin... There is nobody else like Quentin.” adds Daniel Bergmann, Founder & President, Stink
“I’ve watched Alice, Jodeb and Quentin grow into three of the most singular voices of their generation. Three completely different worlds, and one ambition we share with Stink: giving them the global stage their talent deserves.” adds Anna Roudaut, Managing Director, LA\PAC.
