by

According to The Hollywood Reporter’s exclusive report, actor Fabien Frankel, known for his role in “House of the Dragon,” along with his brother Max Mark Frankel, have founded a film and television production company named MarcelMonique Pictures.

From as far back as I can recall, my brother and I have shared a passion for movies,” Fabien Frankel said to THR. “It served as our bond during childhood and fueled our creativity. I’m incredibly pleased to embark on this production company journey alongside Max.

The English actor went on to say: “Our grandparents were named Marcel and Monique. Our grandfather was a movie enthusiast, and his passion for films was passed down through our mother to us. So, having a film named after them holds a lot of significance.

Last year, the brothers unveiled their debut project – the music video for “Wife Once” by Memory of Speke. This video was recognized at the Camerimage Festival, being nominated alongside videos by Ed Sheeran (“Page”), Lenny Kravitz (“TK421”), Sabrina Carpenter (“Please Please Please”), and Taylor Swift (“Fortnight”). Since then, this talented pair has also been nominated for a Berlin Music Video Award.

Next up, they plan to collaborate with musician Peter Zummo on creating a music video titled “The Tape is Chill“. This project will be funded by the British perfume company, Penhaligon’s. The anticipated release of this video is set for this month.

Eagerly dedicated to producing top-tier content and fostering emerging talent, the Frankel siblings are simultaneously working on multiple short films and a full-length screenplay.

Fabien Frankel is primarily recognized by audiences as Ser Criston Cole in the Emmy-winning HBO series “House of the Dragon,” a prequel to “Game of Thrones.” Co-starring with Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke, the third episode of this show is scheduled to air next summer. Besides this, his acting portfolio includes Netflix’s “The Serpent,” holiday romantic comedy “Last Christmas,” and Jamie Adams’ “Venice at Dawn.

I, Max Mark Frankel, a London-based game designer, have been part of the production crew for some captivating projects. Among them are “A Minor Intervention” and “Lag,” as well as Freddie Fox’s “The Painting & The Statue.” My latest ventures include Rick Gomez’s “She Dances,” starring Ethan Hawke, Steve Zahn, and Rosemarie Dewitt, and “Our Hero Balthazar” featuring Asa Butterfield and Jaeden Martell. Excitingly, both of these productions will be debuting at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.
