New York-based studio Wavelength, whose credits include Cusp, Athlete A, and The Cave Of Adullam, has hired Mike Prall as head of studios, Emily Katz as head of development.

The executives will be based in New York and arrive at a busy time as the company prepares to open its first international office in London following partnerships with international producers on seven of its 2022 films including Aisha, Radical Dreamer, and The Last Year Of Darkness.

Prall and Katz will work closely with Wavelength founder, CEO and executive producer Jenifer Westphal and company president Joe Plummer.

“We are thrilled for this expansion to bring more international sales deals,” said Westphal. “It will allow us to work with new disruptive filmmakers across the pond to tell stories that have impact and have different voices heard on an international scale,” said Westphal.

Cutler’s This Machine Filmworks (The War Room, Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry).
