Babak Anvari, the London-based, Iranian-born filmmaker behind Under the Shadow<\/em>, has signed with Range Media Partners for management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His production company, Two & Two Pictures, is included in the deal. Managers Payne Cowley and Rich Cook will handle the relationship on the Film\/TV side. Anvari previously held management deals with Untitled Entertainment<\/a> and Brillstein Entertainment Partners<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anvari’s debut feature Under the Shadow<\/em>, a Persian-language supernatural horror film, premiered at Sundance 2016, was acquired by Netflix, won a BAFTA for Outstanding Debut, and earned two additional BAFTA nominations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His follow-up Wounds<\/em> (Sundance\/Cannes 2019), starring Armie Hammer<\/a>, Dakota Johnson<\/a>, and Zazie Beetz<\/a>, was released on Hulu and Netflix internationally. His most recent film Hallow Road<\/em>, starring Rosamund Pike<\/a> and Matthew Rhys<\/a>, earned praise following its SXSW 2025 premiere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two & Two Pictures, which Anvari co-founded with Lucan Toh, has produced films including Asphalt City<\/em> (Cannes 2023), Arcadia<\/em> (Berlin 2024), and A24’s The Front Room<\/em>. Up next, the company produced You Mother Your Mother Your Mother<\/em>, starring Mahershala Ali<\/a>, set for release later this year via Orion MGM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signing fits Range Media Partners pattern of aggressively expanding its film roster in 2026. The company recently added Jack Dylan Grazer<\/a> and Fola Evans-Akingbola<\/a> to its management slate as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anvari and Two & Two continue to be represented by WME and Independent Talent Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a smart, well-timed move for both sides. Anvari has quietly built one of the most impressive filmmaker resumes in elevated genre filmmaking, from Sundance to Cannes to SXSW, while Two & Two Pictures has developed into a real creative force producing films for A24, Netflix, Hulu, and Orion MGM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landing at Range gives them a management partner aligned with that filmmaker-first, prestige-genre sensibility. For Range, adding a BAFTA winner with a full production company attached isn’t just a signing, it’s a content pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could the Range partnership accelerate Two & Two Pictures’ push into US studio territory, especially following You Mother Your Mother Your Mother<\/em> with Mahershala Ali? With Hallow Road<\/em> still gaining momentum post-SXSW, could this new management deal fast-track Anvari’s next directorial project into production?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
