Babak Anvari and Two & Two Pictures Partner with Range for Film Projects

Babak Anvari, the London-based Iranian filmmaker known for his BAFTA-winning debut ‘Under the Shadow,’ has signed with Range along with his production company, Two & Two Pictures. ‘Under the Shadow,’ a Persian-language psychological supernatural horror film, premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival and received critical acclaim, eventually being acquired by Netflix. The film won several festival awards, including the New Visions Award at Sitges, and was the UK’s entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards. Anvari’s second film, ‘Wounds,’ starring Armie Hammer, Dakota Johnson, and Zazie Beetz, premiered at Sundance in 2019 and was distributed by Hulu in the U.S. and Netflix internationally. He also directed the neo-noir thriller ‘I Came By’ and most recently, ‘Hallow Road,’ which premiered at SXSW in 2025. Anvari has executive-produced the Hulu anthology series ‘Monsterland’ and directed its finale. Two & Two Pictures, co-founded with Lucan Toh, produces filmmaker-driven genre films for a global audience, with projects including ‘Asphalt City,’ ‘Arcadia,’ ‘The Front Room,’ and ‘Fackham Hall.’ Upcoming releases include Bassam Tariq’s ‘You Mother Your Mother Your Mother,’ starring Mahershala Ali. Both Anvari and Two & Two Pictures continue to be represented by WME and Ziffren Brittenham.
