Angelique Jackson Range Media Partners has signed Justin Piasecki, one of Variety’s 10 screenwriters to watch for 2023, for representation.
Piasecki broke onto the scene with his 2016 Academy Nicholl Fellowship winning script “Last Meals” (formerly “Death of An Ortolan”) which is slated to go into production soon, starring Samuel L.
Jackson and Boyd Holbrook, with Morgan Freeman’s Revelations producing. Since then, Piasecki landed three consecutive scripts on the Black List: “Relay” (formerly “The Broker”), “The Neutral Corner” and “Ballast.” Of those screenplays, “Relay” is currently in post-production.
The film is directed by David Mackenzie and stars Riz Ahmed, Sam Worthington and Lily James, with Black Bear and Thunder Road producing. “The Neutral Corner,” about a district court judge who moonlights as a boxing referee, and “Ballast,” a thriller set on a cargo ship, are slated to begin production next year.
