Partizan Connects With Directorial Duo Ethan & Tom For Global Representation
Partizan has added the London-based directing duo Ethan & Tom to its roster for global representation. Known for their expert technical fluency and authentic casting, Ethan & Tom deploy diverse methods of filmmaking, telling stories ranging from well-crafted visual jokes to stunning and extravagant cinematic worlds.
Ethan & Tom met in 2017 at the University of Westminster where they started making music videos for friends. One of their early projects for the band Badgirl$ caught the attention of Sony Music, leading to a series of successful videos--all while they were still students.
They’ve since worked with a diverse array of artists, including Flohio, Greentea Peng, P-rallel, Nayana IZ, Wu-Lu, Berwyn, PinkPantheress, Tendai, and Jeshi. Ethan & Tom’s work captures the essence of their collaborators and finds intimacy in the artists with whom they work. Ethan & Tom have collaborated with brands like Toyota, North Face, Puma, JD Sports, Lacoste and Gorillas. Prior to joining Partizan, Ethan & Tom were most recently represented by Academy.
In a joint statement, Ethan & Tom shared, “We’re really excited to be joining Partizan’s roster, their creative spirit and exceptional team of producers, reps and EPs have been a dream to work with and we’re buzzing to be stepping into this next chapter with them.”
Partizan founder Georges Bermann said, “Ethan and Tom’s reputation for originality, dedication, and innovative thinking has truly stood out. We’re anticipating a very exciting future for them at Partizan.”
