Perth filmmaker team Henry Inglis, Aaron McCann and Lauren Elliott have been signed by
Hollywood’s leading talent agency, Creative Artists Agency (CAA).
CAA represents A-list and emerging stars in movies, television and music including Brad Pitt, Natalie
Portman, Steven Spielberg, Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Will Ferrell, Scarlett Johannson, Justin Timberlake
and Robert De Niro.
According to Fast Company Magazine, “In Hollywood, there's CAA and then there's everybody else."
Inglis, McCann and Elliott have spent the last ten days in Hollywood, meeting with their new agents as
well as several top networks, studios and producers following their breakout success with ‘It’s A Snap!’
a digital short created for Perth’s Central Institute of Technology.
Last month, the two-minute short achieved over one million YouTube hits in one weekend and has been
featured on US websites Time Magazine.com, The Huffington Post, Vancouver Sun, Reddit and
Gizmodo who declared it “Best. Technical College. Ad. Ever”.
Celebrity fans include creator and executive producer for NBC television comedy series Community,
Dan Harmon who introduced the trio to his writing team in LA on the weekend.
Inglis and McCann are long time friends and collaborators who have been producing and starring in a
series of 'Henry & Aaron' comedy shorts since 2007. In 2009, the writer/director pair teamed up with
producer/publicist Elliott and founded Perth-based production company, Perfectly Adequate.
In January 2011, the trio won the inaugural Movie Extra Webfest for their 'Henry & Aaron' concept
and marketing campaign, winning $50,000 to produce a 7-part web series.
‘Henry & Aaron's 7 Steps to Superstardom’ debuted on YouTube and the Movie Extra channel in 2011
and to date has achieved over 200,000 YouTube hits and counting.
Inglis, McCann and Elliott will be back in Perth next week and are on the hunt for a Highgate or Mount
Lawley production office space so they can start developing a half-hour 'Henry & Aaron' comedy series
which they plan to pitch to both US and Australian networks.
