Hey Presto!
West Coast Production Company Mont Albert Road has recently undergone a new coat of paint as it rebrands to the simpler and catchier titled Hey Presto! With the name change comes the addition of new reps in both the Midwest and East Coast.
“I am excited to take this opportunity to announce that we have rebranded as Hey Presto! as we take the company forward nationally in both ideation and content creation,” said Founder and EP, Tim Bathurst. “Our new name, look and roster reflects a youthful and energetic company that nurtures young writer/directors across comedy, food, lifestyle and documentary. Our soup-to-nuts capabilities coupled with our talented roster sits us in a unique position to tackle both high end and challenging budgets.”
In addition to the name change, Hey Presto! has:
- Launched a fully rebranded website, www.heypresto.tv
- Relocated to a newly built office space located on the 4th floor at 925 N La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, CA.
“We are investing in the future of our Company, with the goal of continuing our mission to support the clients vision, no matter how challenging the budget, timeline or idea. "Yes, we can" is our favorite expression,” added Tim Bathurst.
Catherine De Angelis of Hot Betty has joined the team to represent the Midwest corridor. Catherine has over 20 years’ experience working with Production Companies helping to grow their talent in the Midwest market. She’s a great resource to the agencies and works hard to find the perfect fit for their projects.
“I’m excited to be working with Tim and his fun roster of talent. I can’t wait share their work with the creatives,” said Catherine.
Rich Schafler of Schafler Artists Management will look after the East coast. Rich is truly excited to work with such a talented and diverse roster of artists. Rich further added, “I’ve always been a big fan of Tim and have followed his career closely. I’m thrilled to be working with a company that truly embraces the new way of approaching and creating great work”
