EXCLUSIVE: UTA has teamed up with Lisa Cortés and vice versa.
I learned that the co-director of All In: The Fight For Democracy signed with the agency in all areas.
Cortés’ new representative arrives as an Oscar nominee and Emmy winner is at the center of a major political change in the nation. A change in both the White House and the Senate, thanks in no small part to Stacey Abrams ‘struggle against electoral suppression – as documented in Cortés and Liz Garbus’ All In documentary.
All In opened in theaters in early fall and premiered on Amazon Prime Video on September 18 last year. It’s a provocative and insightful examination of the fragility of American democracy, institutional racism, and electoral repression. In this sense, which has been more topical in recent months than almost anyone could have predicted, the documentary is also about people’s ability to regain their constitutional power and the majesty of voting.
With this in mind, the next project by Precious and The Apollo producer Cortés focuses on yet another trailblazer and barrier breaker, the incomparable and true king of rock’n’roll Little Richard.
The CEO of Cortés Films is a member of the producing department of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In addition, former music industry manager Cortés is a member of the Lincoln Center’s Board of Film. Independent Television Services (ITVS); Yaddo, the famous Saratoga Springs, NY artist community; the Trajal Harrell Dance Company and the DGA Focus on Women Committee.
