‘All That Breathes’ Director Shaunak Sen Signs With WME And Entertainment 360

EXCLUSIVE: Shaunak Sen, who was recently nominated for an Oscar for his doc All That Breathes, has signed with WME and Entertainment 360 for representation. The pic is the most awarded and the first film ever to win best documentary at both Sundance and Cannes. The film is currently nominated for BAFTA, DGA, PGA, ASC, Independent Spirit and the Academy Awards.

The doc follows two brothers who devote their lives to the quixotic effort of protecting the black kite, a majestic bird of prey essential to the ecosystem of New Delhi that has been falling from the sky at alarming rates. Amid environmental toxicity and social unrest, the ‘kite brothers’ spend day and night caring for the creatures in their makeshift avian basement hospital.
