Clara Levy has been leading
innovative entertainment, first as a Marketing Coordinator with Canal+, and
then as head of Blackpills’ U.S. offices in Los Angeles, a global insurgent
entertainment company that acquires, produces, and distributes premium short-form
content. Launched in 2017, the digital studio specializes in the development of scripted content targeting the Gen Z
audience.
Levy is considered the embodiment
of Blackpills’ mission. Thanks to her collaboration with elite directors,
actors, influencers, and auteurs, Levy has created edgy, out-of-the-box
content, often addressing taboo subjects that entice audiences across the
globe. Levy and Blackpills are agitators
in the industry, telling stories
free of boundaries, appealing to audiences who may not have yet seen a
representation of themselves on-screen.
While in charge of U.S.
development and production, Levy green-lit the company’s highest-rating and most
successful series: ‘Pillow Talk’, starring Patrick J. Adams (’Suits’, USA
Network), Zoe Cassavetes’ series, ‘Junior’, Michael Haussman and Larry Vopli’s
show ’Do Not Disturb’, Rightor Doyle’s ‘Bonding’, and ‘First Love’, written by Adi Tishray and directed by
Truman & Cooper, among dozens of others.
‘Pillow
Talk’ is an online series aired on Vice’s digital channels. The series features
a tortured bachelor who attempts to “stay in the light” in a casual sex driven
world. The subtlety and brilliance of Levy’s series, however, lies in the fact
that Adams’ character seems to love himself more than the women in the story,
reflecting a social commentary on GenZ sexuality and the complexity of the
self.
Levy’s success is defined by her
projects’ recognition at film festivals around the world. At the Outfest
Festival in Los Angeles, CANNESERIES and SeriesMania festivals. The film Dead
Women Walking, premiered at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival, and was
screened at Venice Film Festival, the Busan International Film Festival and at
the Deauville Film Festival. At the Haifa Film Festival, Dead Women Walking won best international film. It was also nominated for an Artios Award (Casting Society of America's
Award).
