Partizan signs Scoundrel director Peter Carstairs for representation in the US, UK and Europe

Scoundrel director Peter Carstairs has been signed to Partizan for overseas representation in the US, UK and Europe.

Established in 1991 and twice listed as the Gunn Report’s “Best Production Company in the World”, Partizan represents some of the world’s best directors including Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).

Recently Carstairs won a Clio Award for his Doritos “Ultrasound” spot which has been nominated for “Commercial of the Year” at this year’s Shots Awards after becoming a worldwide sensation when it aired during Super Bowl 50. It also became a viral success, reaching an online view-count of over 100-million and ranked as the most popular, most engaging and most shared Super Bowl commercial of 2016.

Says Lisa Tauscher, managing director, Partizan on signing Carstairs: “Peter brings a unique and versatile talent to Partizan as both a visual and humorous storyteller. We are excited to further his career internationally for commercials, content, and music videos.”

Carstairs has also exercised his unique storytelling abilities to helm long-form work including the Emmy-winning Australian TV series Nowhere Boys, and his critically acclaimed debut feature film September (starring Mia Wasikowska and Xavier Samuel). September was Official Selection at both the Berlin and Toronto Film Festivals.
