Los York Films, a creative production company focused on cross-disciplined talent, has added Leticia Gurjão as its new executive producer and head of the film division.
Before joining Los York Films, Gurjão was EP for the bicoastal production company Station Film. Prior to that, she was director of business development at The Cavalry and Green Dot Films. While at Cavalry she helped to launch the VR/AR company Spectacle.
For Seth Epstein, founder/CEO of Los York, the addition of Gurjão comes at a time of growth for both Los York Films and Los York overall. Having someone like Gurjão that understands the ways brands and agencies are flattening typically segregated disciplines into a singular process is critical to the company’s continued growth.
“The world of advertising has changed and Los York is continuing to push collaboration with agencies and brands to create exceptional and standout work,” said Epstein. “Our directors often see jobs through from beginning to end. We are fusing together creative, production and post in a seamless way.
Los York Films is part of the larger Los York family of companies, including Los York Creative, the creative arm that most recently partnered with Motorola on the successful relaunch of the Razr phone as a luxury good.
