Director Sebastian Thiel and duo Sam and David Cutler-Kreutz join OB42 roster

OB42 continues to grow its roster of talent with the addition of Supacell director Sebastian Thiel, and directing duo Sam and David Cutler-Kreutz for commercial representation. OB42 aligns directors, screenwriters, and actors with projects delivering work across commercials, music, film, and TV.

 

 

On the heels of his success with Netflix’s Supacell, which rose to the streamers #1 spot with commentary from the likes of Jay Z and many more, Thiel is bringing new energy to the OB42 roster. Introduced to OB42 by 42’s Literary Manager & Partner Cathy King, a multi-disciplinary creative talent, Zambian born and north-west London raised Thiel is a director, writer, producer, and one of the UK’s hottest rising stars behind the camera. Thiel is represented for film and TV work by 42 and WME.

 

Sebastian commented: “I'm really excited to join OB42 as a director because of their innovative approach at blending advertising and entertainment. The opportunity to work across different media platforms and create engaging content with such a talented team is amazing. I'm looking forward to being part of this dynamic company and contributing to its creative vision.”

 

 

Multi-award winning directing duo Sam & David Cutler-Kreutz took off in 2022 creating gripping drama content, with creative highlights such as Grand-Prix nominated narrative short film Flounder, multi-film-festival- select A-Lien, and their newly released short film Trapped, which was recently awarded the coveted Special Jury Award at this year’s SXSW Film Festival and Best US Short at the Palm Springs International Shortfest. The Cutler-Kreutz’s join the OB42 commercial roster after being signed by 42 Talent Managers Jev Valles, Kate Prentice and Partner Josh Varney for global Film & TV representation, off the back of their award-winning SXSW film.

 

Managing Director of OB42, Clancie Brennan commented: “The signing of Sebastian, Sam and David is a brilliant example of the unique opportunity that our partnership with 42 offers our commercial clients to work with acclaimed talent in the entertainment space. It also demonstrates our commitment to help our diverse roster of talent develop their careers across multiple disciplines, giving them the support and ability to transition seamlessly between film, commercials and music. Sebastian is an undeniable creative force whose ability to connect with modern audiences through comedy, drama and action will no doubt propel him from success to success. Sam and David’s craft is exceptional. Their highly emotive, cinematic stories are some of the best executed short films I have ever seen. With their gripping shorts making waves in the drama space I cannot wait to see the magic we can create when pairing these talents with our clients. I believe they’ll produce the type of content brands desire to cut through the noise and engage the consumer.”
