- Untamed Artists LA has signed writer-director Alex Hanno for management, with Eric Ziech representing him across all areas.
- Hanno co-wrote and directed the upcoming psychological thriller 'Bravado' and wrote the apocalyptic thriller 'A Social Contract,' which stars Sean Astin.
- Hanno's feature directorial debut, the romantic dramedy 'Elephants' (2018), screened at Seattle International Film Festival, Cleveland International Film Festival, and Newport Beach Film Festival.
- Hanno's horror-satire 'Detox' recently premiered on Omeleto, and he was part of the creative team behind 'Soundtrip,' the award-winning interactive audio experience that debuted at the 2023 Hollywood Fringe Festival.
- Hanno previously worked in development at Broad Green Pictures and VMI Worldwide and is the founder of Deadline Junkies, a North Hollywood-based screenwriting organization.
- Untamed Artists LA partners praised Hanno's storytelling for blending 'compelling commercial concepts with a distinct creative voice' and said they aim to expand his opportunities as both a writer and director.
Why it matters: The deal gives Hanno — who already has an upcoming film ('Bravado') and festival-validated shorts — a manager as he pushes into larger commercial projects. For Untamed Artists LA, the signing adds a filmmaker with dual credibility: creative festival track record plus prior industry development experience at Broad Green Pictures and VMI Worldwide.
