Los Angeles-based production company Slim is adding filmmaker and director Daryl Wein to its roster for spots and branded content.

Alongside his brand work for clients such as AT&T and NRDC, is Wein’s latest dramatic comedy, White Rabbit, in which he directs Vivian Bang playing a young Korean American performance artist who struggles to be heard and seen authentically. The film premiered last year at Sundance Film Festival to great acclaim by film critics, including the Los Angeles Times, that called it, “a fast-moving, funny film that’s as alive as the city of Los Angeles itself.” Wein’s next project, Pay No Attention, is a series for Refinery29.

Wein’s style combines a bit of visual panache with unique performances that feel subtle and effortless, giving the audience an earnest and deeply invested look into the onscreen characters. Wein, well known for his comedic expertise, has partnered with widely acclaimed names in the industry including Silicon Valley’s lead Thomas Middleditch, actress and producer Zoe Lister-Jones and Academy Award nominee Greta Gerwig.

Tom Weissferdt, executive producer and president of Slim Pictures, says about Wein, “It was immediately clear to us that even though Daryl’s focus is comedy, he is able to tackle serious matters such as gender or LGBTQ issues and find the humor without diminishing these themes. This is a timely and especially welcome skill in the current advertising climate. Plus, we discovered that he loves the rom-com genre, which is really endearing.”

“Slim is a great fit for me because they are focused and interested in producing meaningful and quality content,” the Los Angeles-born director says about this new chapter in his career.
