Richie Shazam Signs to m ss ng p eces’ Directing Roster

m ss ng p eces has welcomed Richie Shazam to its roster of talent. Shazam caught m ss ng p eces’ attention when Tribeca Studios produced their directorial debut, the documentary short film “Savitree” for Converse. Premiering during the Tribeca Festival at a standing-room-only event, the first-person narrative is inspired by Shazam’s personal history, the loss of their mother, and their found family who is the inspiration to live a life full of creativity. Shazam is a visionary artist, photographer, and filmmaker who uses their artistic platform to rewrite fashion and beauty standards and to raise awareness on queer issues. Their artistic approach investigates subversive radical queer ideologies by deconstructing antiquated notions of gender identity through photography and video – harmoniously working between fashion and art to dismantle preconceived notions of beauty through the act of storytelling. As a model, Shazam is signed with IMG Models and has walked runways in cities across the world. Their photography has been featured in major publications including Interview and Vogue. Their book Shazam was released in 2023, with a foreword by Julia Fox. This marks Shazam’s first representation as a director in the advertising and branded content space.
