Kathryn Bigelow Joins Smuggler

Kathryn Bigelow has joined the Smuggler roster for worldwide commercial representation. 

As one of the world’s most celebrated filmmakers, Bigelow has developed a vast portfolio of celebrated feature films and commercials. Her earlier body of work includes the films The Loveless (1982), Blue Steel (1989), Point Break (1991), Strange Days (1995) and K-19: The Widowmaker (2002). Her work in advertising includes campaigns for Schweppes, Chanel, Ford, and Revlon, to name a few.

In 2009, Bigelow directed the Iraq War thriller/character study The Hurt Locker. The film earned nine Academy Award nominations. Bigelow won the Oscar for Best Director, and the film won Best Picture of the Year. She followed with Zero Dark Thirty (2012), about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, which was also nominated for Best Picture. 

Earlier this year, Bigelow teamed up with VR creator Imraan Ismail to create The Protectors: Walk in the Ranger’s Shoes. This short VR documentary follows a group of Garamba National Park rangers through the Democratic Republic of Congo, exploring the African elephants’ race toward extinction at the hands of ivory-seeking poachers. The project premiered on Earth Day at the Tribeca Film Festival. 

Her latest feature film, Detroit, follows the true story of a police raid at the Algiers Motel on July 25, 1967, during Detroit’s infamous, racially charged 12th Street Riot. The film is set to be released on in theaters on August 4th.
