Provocation Entertainment Signs Christopher S. Hall as New Literary Manager

Online, March 30, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Provocation Entertainment today announced that Christopher S. Hall will be joining the firm as a literary manager, focusing primarily on TV and film. "Chris Hall comes to us from APA where he was mentored by TV literary packaging agent Bob Gumer," announced Provocation Sr. Manager Eli Perle. "Chris' passion for working with script development in both the feature and television arena has led him to Provocation Entertainment where we are thrilled to bring him on as a literary manager."

"I am deeply honored to be joining as innovative a company as Provocation Entertainment which embraces both traditional and transmedia projects," said Hall, who will join Perle and Elisabeth Jereski as managers at the company. "We're especially looking forward to Chris working with our feature and theatre clients in transitioning them to TV projects, and vice versa," added Jereski. "Those lines have blurred, and our worldwide clientele will now be much better served with Chris as our pivot point."

Provocation is a full-service management, production and public relations company representing above-the-line clients in the feature film, television, commercial, internet, videogame and graphic novel arenas, with a boutique focus on award-winning independent feature directors. Provocation has been expanding its client base recently with four Sundance-announced clients: Filmmaker and graphic novelist Frank Hudec ("Necropolis"); playwright and feature writer Jim Tierney ("The Banshee of Bainbridge"); filmmaker, playwright and professor Darryl Wharton-Rigby (NBC's "Homicide: Life on the Street"); and actress and musician Eddie Daniels ("Bad Lieutenant", "Meth Head" - for PR only).

Other clients include filmmakers Dan Mirvish (the upcoming "Between Us", starring Julia Stiles, and Slamdance Film Festival Co-founder), and three Slamdance feature Grand Jury winners and Spirit Award nominees: Filmmaker and best-selling novelist Eitan Gorlin ("The Holy Land" and co-author of "I Am Martin Eisenstadt" with Mirvish); director and screenwriter Kevin DiNovis ("Surrender Dorothy"); and South African feature and commercial director Daniel J. Harris ("The Bible and Gun Club").
