Biscuit Filmworks has added director Bianca Poletti to both its U.S. and U.K. rosters. Poletti is a distinctive storyteller crafting deeply lived-in worlds across film, commercials, music videos, and photography.
“Bianca has a fully-formed artistic voice that’s at once youthful and wise,” said Shawn Lacy, partner and managing director at Biscuit Filmworks. “Her storytelling instincts are excellent, as is her attention to detail in every department whether it’s production design or casting. We’re so pleased to have her join the Biscuit roster and see her commercial career continue to climb.”
Prior to joining Biscuit, Poletti was with Epoch Films for U.S. representation. She is an alum of SHOOT’s 2021 New Directors Showcase.
Born in California to Argentinian parents, Poletti was raised by her mother and graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in film studies before embarking on her directing career. She has helmed spots for Planned Parenthood, Sephora, Facebook, Ford, and most recently, a Coca-Cola spot for the FIFA Women’s World Cup where she worked with Buenos Aires-based Mercado McCann and an Argentinian cast. Her numerous short films include Radical Honesty, which premiered at SXSW 2022 and earned a Vimeo Staff Pick, Gold at Ciclope, and Silver at the Young Director Awards; and I Am Whole, which was recently featured at the Hammer Museum’s FLUX Screening Series.
Poletti shared, “I’m thrilled to join Biscuit and to be part of a team that prioritizes artistry and craft. It’s clear that Biscuit values the distinct voices of each of its directors, and finds jobs to showcase that work in the best way. Also, Biscuit deeply cares about creating beautiful work and pushing the envelope in terms of craft with everything they do. I’m excited to have opportunities for bigger storytelling and bigger world-building moving forward.”
