Film studio and commercial production company Caviar has signed Belgian-Moroccan directing duo Adil & Bilall–consisting of Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah–for representation in the U.S.
Caviar will partner with the pair exclusively for commercials and continue to work with them on long format projects. The duo’s latest film Rebel was produced by Caviar, and considered one of their most meaningful projects to date. It was recently released in the U.S. and sold to over 50 countries.
El Arbi and Fallah first met each other while studying at the Lukas School of Arts in Brussels, Belgium. Breaking into the cultural zeitgeist with their film, Image, they instantly became recognized for their unique take on filmmaking. Other credits include Caviar production Black, Gangsta, Bad Boys for Life, Disney +’s Ms. Marvel, and most recently, Rebel. El Arbi and Fallah have scored many notable nominations and awards including the Toronto International Film Festival’s Discovery Award and Palm Springs International Film Festival’s Directors to Watch Award. Rebel won the Jury Award at the Philadelphia Film Festival, Best Film at the Barcelona-Sant Jordi International Film Festival, and was also selected for Midnight Screening at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022. Prior to joining Caviar, Adil & Bilall had been repped in the U.S. ad market by production house Minted Content.
“We’re always striving to work with the best of the best,” said Michael Sagol, managing director of Caviar. “Adil and Bilall are some of the most dynamic and magnetic filmmakers in the industry and their POV on filmmaking is one that cannot go unnoticed. There’s so much magic to create with these two and we’re beyond proud to be working with them.”
Caviar has won more than 50 Cannes Lions and its film producing credits include the two-time Oscar winning Sound of Metal (Amazon) directed by Darius Marder and starring Riz Ahmed.
