WTP Pictures has added director Matthias Hoene to its roster for U.S. representation spanning commercials and branded content.
With credits that include award-winning commercials and three feature films, Hoene is no stranger to working with A-list actors and has gained a reputation for coaching exceptional performances from his cast. He brings his extensive expertise in various film techniques to WTP Pictures such as stop motion, cel animation, miniature sets, puppetry, motion control, and CGI, among others. Prior to joining WTP, he had most recently been repped by Partizan in the ad arena.
WTP executive producer Susan Rued Anderson said, “I’ve been watching Matthias’ career develop over the past several years and was excited when he reached out to discuss joining our roster. Matthias has vision, is collaborative, has a deep understanding of VFX and is one of those directors that rolls up his sleeves and does the work. He is passionate about the craft.”
Hoene added, “For me, When it comes to crafting great commercials, I aim to stir up emotions, ignite minds, and transport people to a world of pure enchantment. What I love about the WTP roster is that it is very well-curated and bespoke. I am very serious and a perfectionist about my work, and I also treasure a family atmosphere when working with agencies and clients. WTP is run by a group of wonderful humans united in striving for creative and visual excellence and has a lovely boutique feeling.”
After studying film at The University of the Arts London as well as Central St. Martins, Hoene made his film directing debut with the cult classic Cockneys vs. Zombies in 2012, which premiered at the London FrightFest. He recently completed the thriller Little Bone Lodge and directed the first season of Theodosia for HBO Max. Hoene is currently developing projects like the sci-fi film Hela 212 and the heist thriller The Berliner(s). He is also known for his commercials, including two which made the Super Bowl cut, and his impactful documentary Dive, which debuted at SXSW and marked World Oceans Day in an effort to promote ocean conservation.
WTP Pictures has also partnered with Chiara Chung and Gunder Kehoe via indie firm CCCo. for Midwest representation.
