EXCLUSIVE: After nearly 12 years as Manager/Producer at the NYC-based Washington Square Films, Jennifer Konawal Brady has joined the recently launched Amplified in the same role. During her
time at Washington Square Films, Brady produced titles including Ari Issler and Ben Snyder’s _11:55_; _Burn Country_ starring Rachel Brosnahan and Dominic Rains; _Sweets_, starring Pedro

Most recently, Brady was an EP on Canadian-Italian director Luis DeFillippis’ _Something You Said Last Night_, a film that has won multiple awards globally as well as being a charter
project for a Trans Mentorship Program which provides BTL opportunities for the queer community. WATCH ON DEADLINE Brady began her career as an executive assistant at WME before following
colleague Bill Butler to Gersh, where she worked for 14 years representing talent and literary clients. We’re told that she was instrumental in expanding Gersh’s packaging department through
her experience and knowledge of the independent finance world, and her representation of multi-hyphenate talent contributed to the agency’s success at festivals, as well as with studio
acquisitions and awards recognition. With the expansion of nonprofit components to her features as well as new approaches to film financing, Brady has recently expanded into consulting for
Film Finance/Media companies. Currently, she’s producing projects for clients Jimmy Giannopoulos (_The Birthday Cake_), Andrew Neel (_Goat_, _A Teacher_), Cozier, DeFillippis and Nick
Borenstein, who’s making his feature directorial debut. In their first year in business, Amplified had 14 clients with lead roles in studio features including Austin Abrams in _Wolfs_ and
_Weapons_, Cameron Monaghan in _Tron: Ares_, and Robert John Burke in Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s next film for Warner Bros and Legendary. The company also had 28 series regulars on television
including the recently announced Dominic Fumusa in _Dexter: Resurrection_ and Ward Horton on _The Night Agent_ alongside fan favorite roles/series like Christopher Meloni in _Law &
Order: Organized Crime_, Scott Grimes in _Ted_ and _American Dad_, Aryan Simhadri in Disney’s_ Percy Jackson and the Olympians_, Sara Waisglass and Chelsea Clark in _Ginny & Georgia_,
and Sarah Bock in _Severance_. Amplified is also coming off of several Broadway/West End runs including Shoshana Bean in the Tony and Grammy Award-winning _Hell’s Kitchen_ and Billy Porter’s
opening as the Emcee in _Cabaret_. On the literary side, clients Hilary Galanoy & Elizabeth Hackett recently saw their film_ La Dolce Villa _open at #1 on Netflix, with 19.8 million
views in its first weekend. Amplified helped their client Emily Fox sell the project _Royal Spin_ in a highly competitive situation, and have also closed an overall deal for Jane Maggs at
CBS Studios.
