The Agency client Babak Jalali has been recognized as Best Director for his film FREMONT at this year’s Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.
Fremont follows a young woman – Donya – who works in a Chinese fortune cookie factory while starved for sleep and wracked with PTSD from her past life serving as a translator for the U.S. military in Afghanistan.
The film stars first-time actor and real-life refugee Anaita Wali Zada and Jeremy Allen White (The Bear), with a script co-written by The Agency’s Carolina Cavalli.
Babak Jalali and Carolina Cavalli are represented by Hannah Boulton at The Agency.
