UTA Signs Emerging Filmmaker Will Ropp

Emerging filmmaker Will Ropp has signed with UTA for representation in all areas. Ropp's feature directorial debut, the coming-of-age comedy 'Brian,' premiered at SXSW earlier this year. The film centers on a 17-year-old's quest to win a class presidency, motivated by an unrequited crush.

Currently, Ropp is in post-production for his second feature film, 'Dedicated to Morris Burke.' This dark comedy stars Da'Vine Joy Randolph as a widow investigating her late husband's final novel, which is dedicated to an unknown individual. Kate McKinnon, Amy Sedaris, and Alison Pill also star in the project.

Prior to his directing career, Ropp established himself as an actor in films such as 'The Way Back' and 'The Fallout.' His television credits include 'The Sex Lives of College Girls' and 'Love, Victor.' Ropp continues to be managed by Entertainment 360 and Felker, McGinnis & Ryan.
