A new epoch for Epoch as they join forces with Knucklehead in the UK in pursuit of business in the UK and beyond. At a catch-up with Tim Katz of Knucklehead and Jacki Calleiro of Epoch the other day, the pair were keen to emphasise the strength of each company's commitment to the other in the UK... as well as representing Epoch's directors in the UK, Knucklehead will be producing the work.
The Epoch UK roster, now available through Knucklehead, includes four-time DGA Director of the Year nominee Martin de Thurah, comedy directors Matt Swanson and Matias & Mathias, and rising star Kate Hollowell, as well as Ric Cantor, who is newly signed. Katz and Calleiro impressed DAVID with their relaxed enthusiasm for this collaboration and, if their vibe is anything to go by, this is likely to a fruitful communion... as well as a fun one for both parties.
Epoch Managing EP Melissa Culligan consolidates this perspective: "We’ve known the Knucklehead gang forever, worked alongside Tim & Matthew back in the day, and we feel supremely excited teaming up with them for this new chapter. The market in the UK is finely nuanced, much more so than the US, and Knucklehead know the lie of the land better than anyone. We can’t wait to do this."
While Tim Katz adds: "Epoch are Production Company royalty; simple as that. They’ve won everything there is to win in the ad space, and they are smashing it in film and TV. They bring an amazing roster of talent and a shared love of great work. We are delighted to be teaming up."
