H L 's Brendan Kiernan and Justin Moore-Lewy
Notes Kiernan, Great stories are still the heart of advertising and entertainment, but the opportunities for expressing those stories and distributing them-be it experientially or through branded content-have evolved enormously. H L was founded on embracing this evolution and working with some of the most effective and innovative storytellers in the business across platforms to deliver extraordinary work.
The company also has a London presence through their U.K. partner, Mistress. H L 's roster includes Academy Award-winning documentarian Daniel Junge Sundance darling director Michael Mohan (Save the Date), BAFTA-nominated British feature film/television/commercial director Paul Weiland ( Mr Bean, Made of Honor), Telly Award-winning director/writer/producer/game developer Eddie Alcazar, award-winning commercials director Alex Grossman, as well as a body of award-winning international directorial talent. H L also represents ONE DAY ON EARTH, the world's only co-creative network of filmmakers, created by Kyle Ruddick and Brandon Litman. The collective has over 35,000 contributors and has created a trilogy of global documentary films and offers the potential to create globally sourced campaigns that create an ongoing conversation with a worldwide audience.
Tara Averill and John Robertson of RepresentationCo, whose current roster consists of an A list lineup of directors, editors and composers for commercial advertising and branded entertainment, will represent H L for east coast sales.

About H L
Venice, CA/NYC-based H L was started in 2013 with one simple vision: to create experiences, not interruptions.
In a digital age, there is no longer differentiation between consumers and audiences; they are one and the same. This is why we didn't set out to be merely another production company. We are experience providers, problem solvers, storytellers and nimble content creators. Our principals have done everything from run a Digital Agency to heading up a Talent Management Firm. That, combined with our meticulously selected group of H L talent, provide fertile ground to meet the challenges of today's increasingly integrated entertainment and advertising markets.
Everyone on our roster is an original voice and innovator in new formats and distribution channels. Some are downright pioneers.
H L also has a London presence through U.K. partner, Mistress.
