EXCLUSIVE: Rising filmmaker Jay Pendarvis Jr. has signed with M88 for representation. Pendarvis is coming off of his participation in the first cohort of The Antigravity Academy Screenwriters Camp, hosted by filmmaker and fellow M88 client Carlos López Estrada and former head of the Sundance Artist Community, Abiram Brizuela.
