‘The Apprentice’ Director Ali Abbasi Signs With UTA
"The Apprentice" director Ali Abbasi has signed with UTA for representation.
The film, which follows Donald Trump’s rise through the real estate industry in the ’80s with the guidance of lawyer Roy Cohn, earned a fair amount of attention this awards season despite its trouble finding mainstream distributors. Abbasi’s previous feature, “Holy Spider,” also premiered in Competition at Cannes, and Zar Amir-Ebrahimi won Best Actress for her performance. Abbasi parted ways with CAA last month following a claim of inappropriate conduct at this year’s Golden Globes.
