Director Showcase: New York-based film director and choreographer Ezra Hurwitz joins Hunters House Directors Agency for exclusive representation in Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe

Prior to his career as a filmmaker, Ezra was a professional ballet dancer with the prestigious New York City Ballet and Miami City Ballet, where he performed on international stages and collaborated with world-class artists. Ezra earned degrees in film and business strategy at Columbia University. His unique background in choreography, dance, film, marketing, and business strategy, has led him to direct A-list talent such as Julia Roberts, Emma Stone, Ethan Hawke, and Olivia Coleman, just to name a few.

Jen Alvares, a Partner and Executive Producer at Hunters House Entertainment Group, commented, “Ezra’s experience reflects everything that a director needs these days to be successful and to lead the industry. While understanding marketing and business strategy are invaluable for anybody involved in the advertising industry, professional ballet is one of a few experiences that adds unique value. It truly grooms persistence, patience, and strong personality that are so often missed these days in the younger generation of artists.”
