Matt Vioral, a 20-year veteran of The Gersh Agency talent department, has joined Brillstein Entertainment Partners in a transition to management, Deadline has learned.

Vioral has been with Gersh since the beginning of his career, having elevated there from executive assistant to agent in 2010. Most recently, he served as Senior Partner. Clients he’ll continue to represent alongside Gersh, as of now, include Jacob Elordi, Drew Starkey (who had already been repped by Brillstein for more than two years), and Ryan Eggold. Expect more names to come.

In a statement on Vioral’s transition, Brillstein’s Jon Liebman said, “We’re excited with Matt’s decision to join Brillstein. His incredibly sharp eye for talent coupled with strong instincts and deep relationships are a dynamic combination for artist management. We look forward to supporting him as he continues to help develop clients and their creative vision.”

Gersh President Leslie Siebert added, “We’re proud of the career he has built here and the contributions he has made to our clients and agency. He leaves with our friendship and support. We look forward to working with Matt in his new role at Brillstein, and continuing to work together with Gersh clients.”

Vioral joined Gersh’s mailroom after graduating from UCLA. During his tenure, he helped guide the careers of a range of established and emerging actors while contributing to the agency’s broader growth.

A Los Angeles native and member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Vioral said: “Gersh has been my professional home for 20 years, and I’m grateful to Leslie, Bob, David and everyone at the agency for their support, collaboration and friendship. I’m excited to begin this next chapter at Brillstein, while continuing to work closely with the colleagues at Gersh who have been such an important part of my career.”

EXCLUSIVE: Maude Apatow and Mike Faist are set to star in The Maid of Orleans, Sarah Elizabeth Mintz’s follow-up to Good Girl Jane. Mintz penned the script that she will also direct. Astute Films is financing the pic.

The film follows a young woman who navigates her new job by assisting a famously talented and complicated director on a French production of Joan of Arc. Shooting begins this week.

Mintz will produce along with Shuli Harel and Jeff David.

Up next, Apatow will make her feature directorial debut with Poetic License, starring Cooper Hoffman, Andrew Barth Feldman, and Leslie Mann. The film, also produced by Apatow under her Jewelbox Pictures banner, first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival to rave reviews, followed by a well-received screening at South by Southwest. It was recently acquired by Sony Pictures Classics and will release next spring. Apatow is perhaps best known for her performance as Lexi Howard on HBO’s acclaimed Emmy and BAFTA-nominated series Euphoria, which recently concluded its three-season run. Apatow is represented by WME, Mosaic, Ziffren Brittenham.

Faist is coming off rave reviews in the limited series East of Eden, which bowed last week on Netflix. The series also stars Florence Pugh and Christopher Abbott. He is repped by WME and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.
