Filmmaker Ali Abbasi has been dropped by two major agencies, CAA and Entertainment 360, amid allegations of a groping incident at their Golden Globes party.
Abbasi cited a new direction in his career path as the reason for leaving both agencies. He remains a client of Lark Management in the UK, which did not comment on the issue. The Iranian-born filmmaker is nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for best director and has also been recognized with Oscar nominations for “The Apprentice”. His previous films include “Holy Spider” and “Border”, which won awards at various festivals.
