La Pac Finds Home at Arts & Sciences in the U.S.

Award-winning production company Arts & Sciences has entered a partnership with Paris-based production company La Pac to launch Le Pac, serving as the U.S. home base to select directors from their roster. One of France's most well-respected production houses, La Pac shares a like-minded philosophy with Arts & Sciences; both companies are kindred spirits with a shared commitment to excellence in production, developing talent on a holistic level, and a humanity-focused leadership style.

A core strength of Le Pac is its foundation of visually-driven directors coming from the world of fashion and music videos. Designer collaborations include projects for Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, and many more. To support the Le Pac directors’ highly lauded work in music videos, Le Pac will launch with Benjamin Bernard as the EP for music videos. Le Pac’s directors have helmed hit music videos for a who’s who of international artists like The Weeknd, Charlie XCX, Travis Scott, Franz Ferdinand, Grizzly Bear, Christine and the Queens, Kimbra, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and many others. 

Mal Ward, managing director and partner at Arts & Sciences, elaborated by saying, “We [at Arts & Sciences] have a legacy of building and breaking talent, and we’re honoured to be the catalyst bringing the talent of La Pac to the U.S. market. We are similar in how we work and the setup of our companies. Jérôme Denis, La Pac’s managing director, expertise is priceless. This is a bona fide partnership, in every sense.”

Jérôme offered, “At La Pac, we already represent Arts & Sciences directors Anthony Mandler and The Bobbsey Twins From Homicide, so I knew our rosters would fit each other’s company. We make sense together. It’s like we share DNA in working with creatives and running our companies. Success is based on hard work, and we make a great team. I believe that alone, you go fast, but together you go further. There’s no way Le Pac can succeed without the expertise of Arts & Sciences. Mal is the sharpest and most engaging potential partner we could ask for. We look forward to what’s next with this humble, ambitious partnership.”

Directors who will form the initial Le Pac US roster are Quentin Deronzier, Nathalie Canguilhem, Ab/cd/cd, Colin Solal Cardo, Lisa Paclet, Lysa Thieffry, and Adrien Wagner.

La Pac has collected over 65 Cannes Lions as well as a Palme d’Or and Grand Prix since its inception in 1972, developing a reputation for creative excellence and working with the world’s top talent. It is currently led by CEO Jérôme Denis. Jérôme will continue to oversee his roster of talent in the US, in addition to the support Le Pac directors will receive from Arts & Sciences EPs and sales reps.
