Heather Agyepong Joins Industry Entertainment as New Management Client

In a move that’s already generating buzz across the indie circuit, award‑winning director Heather Agyepong announced she has signed with Industry Entertainment for management. The partnership, confirmed by both parties on Monday, signals a new chapter for the Ghana‑British filmmaker known for her striking visual storytelling.

Agyepong, whose recent feature "The River Below" earned a spot at Cannes and snagged multiple BAFTA nominations, said the decision felt like a natural next step. “Industry has a track record of nurturing bold voices, and I’m excited to explore stories that sit at the intersection of culture, identity, and the supernatural,” she told Deadline in an interview.

Industry Entertainment’s head of talent, Maya Lawson, echoed the sentiment, noting that Agyepong’s “unique eye and fearless narrative choices” fit perfectly with the agency’s vision. “We’re thrilled to represent a filmmaker who pushes boundaries while staying deeply rooted in personal truth,” Lawson added.

The deal could see Agyepong expanding beyond feature films into limited series and perhaps even high‑concept television, areas where Industry has considerable clout. Insiders suggest that the manager’s extensive network in both the UK and US markets might open doors to collaborations with streaming giants.

Fans and peers alike are already speculating about what’s next. With Agyepong’s previous work showcasing a knack for blending folklore with contemporary issues, the industry expects a slate of projects that will challenge conventions and spark conversation. Only time will tell, but the partnership certainly looks promising.
