MODEL & CAST MANAGEMENT EUROPE
MCM/TALENT Utilizing unique strategies honed by successful enterprise and
through collaboration with other experienced producers, we attract proven
industry veterans as well as Hollywood’s rising stars. No matter what avenue of
the entertainment industry one may wish to pursue, MCM Europe has the platform
to develop and profile talent through MCM Productions. We manage actors,
voice-over artists, dancers and hosts, and even news reporters, most notably CNN
and MTV’s own Background Voice.
MCM/MODELS We provide models for commercial photography: public relations,
advertising, glamour and fashion. MCM began with just enough models to meet
internal demand for production. Today, MCM Models offer a portfolio that serves
well outside our own ranks; our book includes the world’s most profiled
illustration model today
MCM History
MCM Europe was founded in 2001, by producer Knut Steen Rakner. Based out of
Marbella, Spain, they began to develop and produce artistic and unique
commercial projects. MCM producers quickly discovered the importance of
professional models in front of the camera, and began representing stand-out
models from productions they were involved with. MCM rapidly grew as a media
company, and as they moved into television and film production, they saw the
same demand for professional screen talents.
Management
MCM Europe has a reputation as one of Europe’s premier entertainment companies
having focused on multimedia development, film and television production, as
well as model and talent management.
We have a community of artists who support each other, all passionate about
their own vision. We actively seek those that possess talent, drive and
dedication while retaining their individuality. We provide guidance throughout
our client’s developing professional careers with the goal of producing long
term, mutually beneficial relationships.
Models
In addition to carefully selecting models from past productions, MCM Europe
launched an aggressive campaign scouting for new models in major European cities.
Shortly thereafter, the portfolio of MCM Models served an increasingly expanding
clientele; in 2004, their book included the world’s most profiled illustration
model, and today has become a top choice for high-end models within Europe’s
entertainment industry.
Talents
With the same philosophy, MCM Europe has produced a select portfolio of actors/actresses
for TV and motion pictures whose careers they have helped shape and still
represent today. A prime example is Norwegian actor Ryan Wiik. In 2002, Rakner
discovered that Wiik had enormous screen potential after placing him in front of
the camera for a local TV commercial in Spain. Throughout his acting studies,
MCM continued to aid Wiik in various endeavors and now he has made his Hollywood
debut and is recognized as an up-and-coming international star.
Los Angeles – summer 2007
In order to attract new prospects and better serve our growing international
portfolio, MCM has established talent-scouts and managers in Los Angeles. MCM
Europe’s head management office is currently in Beverly Hills, CA.
