Integral Artists Inc. has brought former Brightlight Pictures exec Dani Elias (World Series of Poker) on board as head of its new production talent division.

Elias will represent production talent, including line producers, cinematographers, editors, production designers, hair, make-up and post production supervisors.

“Not only does Dani provide the bandwidth to enter the space, but his skill-set and background, having worked in both Toronto and Vancouver on and off set, make him the ideal candidate to head this department,” Ben Silverman, co-founder of Integral Artists, said in a statement.

Moving into production talent follows principals Silverman and Nigel Mikoski launching Integral Artists to represent  talent in front of the camera.

The Vancouver agency most recently helped package Shaw Media’s untitled Alan Thicke reality series for Slice.
