Bicoastal content creation studio BODEGA has added director Pierre Dalpé to its roster for U.S. representation.
Dalpé’s work has earned him a Bronze Medal at the New York Film Festival. He has collaborated with several Canadian, American and European agencies including Ogilvy, McCann, GREY, Wunderman Thompson, THE HIVE, DDB, Leo Burnett, Sid Lee, LG2, Publicis, Cossette, Saatchi & Saatchi, FCB, Bleublancrouge, Rethink, and Taxi. An established director in Montreal, Dalpé also served as an agency creative at Cossette.
Dalpé said, “I am thrilled to have found representation in the USA with Bodega Studios and excited to work with such a talented group of fellow creatives who will help provide me with opportunities to bring my comedic and dynamic sensibilities outside of Canada and to a new market. I can’t wait to see what we create together.”
Dalpé started in the industry as an ad copywriter, screenwriter and music video director. He has written numerous television campaigns for Molson, General Motors and Bell, and his work showcases flawless visual effects, including elements such as designed props, prosthetics, motion control, and CGI.
BODEGA executive producer Clint Goldman said of Dalpé, “He is a perfect fit to our directing family. Pierre brings a very smart approach to visual comedy dialogue and design that should sit well with the USA market.”
BODEGA maintains bases of operation in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Dalpé is represented in Canada by Someplace Nice in Toronto and NOVAFILM in Quebec.

But Coon, 43, was then largely enmeshed in the day-to-day life of raising a family, along with their nightly movie viewings, which Letts pulls from his extensive DVD collection.

Coon met Letts during her breakthrough performance in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe?" on Broadway in 2012. She played the heavy-drinking housewife Honey. It was the first role that Coon read and knew, viscerally, she had to play. Immediately after saying this, Coon sighs.
"It sounds like something some diva would say in a movie from the '50s," Coon says. "I just walked around in my apartment in my slip and I had pearls and a little brandy. I made a grocery list and I just did... Read More
