In 2019, Paris native D.J. Pierce was in an Oscar-nominated movie with Lady GaGa and Bradley Cooper, became the first drag performer to walk the Oscar red carpet, was named to Time magazineâs 100 Next List and was cast in an HBO limited series program called âWeâre Here!â In 2020, thanks to Covid-19, he spent most of his time in his grandmotherâs home in Paris.
When filming on his new show was curtailed by the pandemic, Pierce chose to come home to Northeast Texas, but the quarantine couldnât keep him â or his alter-ego, âShangelaâ â out of the spotlight.
Director Jared Knecht has joined FINCH for representation in Australia and New Zealand.
Knecht’s unique sense of storytelling has created singular work for clients like Toyota, Skoda, Burger King, Adidas, Lincoln Motors, Google, and Rimowa, receiving critical acclaim from AICP, One Show, and YDA.
His film “Violence” for Unicef was recently nominated for Best Direction at Ciclope. The haunting piece depicts the brutal effects of violence on children by finding the light between the shadows. Jared uses discordant sound and images to capture alienation and dissociation from a child’s perspective.
Knecht’s campaign “See Yourself in Others” for Tribeca Film Festival was featured in The New York Times and received “Pick of the Day” from Creativity. He was also featured in SHOOT Online’s “New Director’s Showcase.”
