Rich Peppiatt Michael Buckner/Deadline EXCLUSIVE: After making a splash at Sundance with his first narrative feature Kneecap, which Sony Pictures Classics swooped on ahead of its Thursday night premiere, filmmaker Rich Peppiatt has signed with Anonymous Content and WME.

Peppiatt will continue to be represented in the UK by longtime agent Michele Milburn of MMB Creative.
