We are very pleased to announced that the acclaimed Oscar Nominated and double BAFTA Award winning writer/director Michael Radford has joined SMA Talent Limited for management/agency, excluding North America, where he is represented by David Guillod of Intellectual Artists Management.

Says Olav Wyper, CEO of SMA Talent, “I have long been an admirer of Michael’s work right back to ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE and IL POSTINO was a landmark movie both for him and the industry – remaining the top grossing foreign language film from 1996 until very recently. NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR and Al Pacino’s THE MERCHANT OF VENICE are also among his more celebrated achievements as writer and director. He is an immense talent and we are very excited about working with him and further developing his international career.“

He is currently writing a comedy, THE PERFECT EQUATION, for Gaumont, which he will direct; he is attached to direct WODEHOUSE’S WAR for Corona Pictures/SMA; and planning KING LEAR, the second of his Al Pacino Shakespeare projects.
