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.”
