Notes: After a decade with the venerable Fifi Oscard Agency, Jerome Henry Rudes opened his own boutique agency, Mistral Artist Management, in January 2008 in order to represent a select group of talented authors, playwrights, directors, screenwriters and actors in America and Europe. A dual citizen of both the United States and France, Mr. Rudes lives in New York City and Provence. He is the Founder/President of the 25-year-old Avignon Film Festival (in France) and the 13-year-old Avignon/New York Film Festival (in Manhattan) where he hosted many established filmmakers such as Louis Malle, Agnès Varda, Jerry Schatzberg, Roger Corman, David Brown, Curtis Hanson, Mika Kaurismaki, Claude Miller, Paul Schrader and Paul Mazursky, as well as scores of emerging filmmakers like Cedric Klapisch, Richard Linklater, Arnaud Desplechin, Christophe Ruggia, Bruno Dumont, Gaspar Noé and Quentin Tarantino. Mr. Rudes co-authored Samuel Fuller's A Third Face, My Tale of Writing, Fighting, and Filmmaking, published by Alfred Knopf in 2004. Mistral Artist Management hopes to further the careers of great story-tellers in their pursuit of illuminating projects. Mr. Rudes presently serves as an International Coordinator for LVT Laser Subtitling.
