EXCLUSIVE: Manager and producer Brian Young has joined Range. Young most recently operated independently as a manager and produced The Brutalist.
He brings with him a roster of clients that includes the Oscar-nominated, BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning The Brutalist director and co-writer Brady Corbet as well as the Oscar-nominated The Brutalist co-writer Mona Fastvold whose upcoming film, The Testament Of Ann Lee, co-written with Corbet and starring Amanda Seyfried, Christopher Abbott and Lewis Pullman, will premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival.
Other clients joining him at Range include author and screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho), whose novel The Shards is becoming a Ryan Murphy series at FX with Young serving as executive producer. Young also represents filmmaker Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko), the estate of Aaliyah alongside her brother Rashad Haughton; writer-director Evan Morgan (The Kid Detective); and actor-musician Shameik Moore (Dope, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)
In addition to The Brutalist, which was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and won 3 earlier this year, including Best Actor for Adrien Brody, Young has produced Corbet’s Vox Lux, starring Natalie Portman and Jude Law, and Arbitrage, starring Richard Gere. He is set to produce Corbet’s follow-up feature to The Brutalist, which is eying a summer 2026 shoot.
“Brian is such a rare person in our industry: an incredible eye for distinctive talent as evidenced by his highly curated roster, impeccable taste as a producer, and just an extraordinarily kind person,” said Range founding partner Rich Cook. “He’s deeply respected as being on the cutting edge of modern storytellers and storytelling, and we couldn’t be more honored to now call him a colleague.”
Young began his career in 2000 under the mentorship of Jason Weinberg at Untitled Entertainment where he was promoted to manager in 2003 and began representing talent across film, television, and music. In 2011, he left Untitled to co-found KillerMoxie alongside Christine Vachon and Pam Koffler of Killer Films and commercial production company Moxie. He was subsequently tapped to lead the Film & TV division of Roc Nation/Three Six Zero, a partnership between Roc Nation, Live Nation, and Three Six Zero. He went on his own in 2021.
“The notion of joining this team, filled with the most impressive managers, producers, and executives in the business, many of which happen to be longtime friends, is absolutely thrilling,” Young said. “All of my world class colleagues at Range have built an extraordinary company. One that simply is, second to none. I couldn’t be more excited to be here.”
