IT'S KODE FOR TRUMAN & COOPER.
29 November 2023

Anthony Jorge and Jonathan Cohen-Berry (aka Truman and Cooper) have joined Kode for UK representation. Named after Harry S Truman and Dale Cooper from 'Twin Peaks', the pair are just as fervent about casting as they are about cherry pie and damn fine cups of coffee.



Jorge and Cohen-Berry feed off the enthusiasm of others, and it sounds like Kode have given them plenty to chew over: "When we started talking to Kode, we instantly got the impression that we were not only speaking with really good producers, but also with people who have a very bright and powerful human energy. We are really excited to open this new chapter with a team that feels as passionate about creating and filmmaking as we are."

The last word goes to executive producer Jack Goodwin: "We have long admired Jonathan and Anthony's work, and see them as a key signing to our roster. We love the cinematic qualities they bring to their films, while also maintaining a relatability to the stories they're telling. We're looking forward to what the future has in store for the duo at Kode."

"Our projects require special attention to casting, which is maybe the stage of filmmaking that we like the most," says Cohen-Berry. "What matters to us most is finding people with something unique and special. Feeling someone's energy and then finding the best way to convey it on film, is something we find exciting and rewarding."
