31.12.2022 - 16:11 / deadline.com
It’s been another challenging year in the world of content creation and the climate has arguably demanded more gumption and savviness from its leaders than ever before. With the business increasingly looking beyond U.S. shores for revenues and opportunities for growth, Deadline’s International Disruptors column continues to highlight some of the key executives and companies shaking up the offshore marketplace. These are the leaders who are thriving in the midst of the tidal changes so take a look back at 2022’s standouts below.
ARIK KNELLER
Founder of Israeli talent agency The Kneller Agency, Arik Kneller represents more than 250 clients across television, film, theatre and advertising with clients including two-time Oscar nominee and co-creator/director of HBO Series Our Boys Joseph Cedar, Fauda writer and Our Boys co-creator Noah Stollman and Shtisel writers and co-creators Ori Elon and Yehonatan Indursky. When founding the company more than 25 years ago, The Kneller Agency was the first agency in Israel to focus its representation on writers and directors and since then, it’s signed a first-look deal with Anonymous Content, which was considered somewhat of an international coup. “There’s a burst of really interesting voices now in Israel,” Kneller told Deadline. “The most exciting part of my job is when somebody comes and tells me about a new idea for a strong project that just blows my mind. I get a really strong rush out of that.”
