Los Angeles, CA, July 9, 2025 — Neighborhood Watch will now be represented on the West Coast by agents Frank Antonoff and Faith Loop of 1961.

As reps, Antonoff and Loop pair cross-disciplinary talent with brands and campaigns that aptly match their storytelling sensibilities and cinematic taste. As champions of culture known for out-of-the-box creative problem solving, 1961 aims to ensure creative excellence and catalyze enriching experiences.
Dal Wolf, Managing Director & Executive Producer of Neighborhood Watch, says of signing with the 1961, “Frank and Faith are both highly collaborative, and that’s something we value greatly. We pride ourselves on being agile, smart, and strategic, which allows us to center on delivering premium artistry and craftsmanship—we’re heartened to sign with reps who operate similarly. They have remarkable vision and insight, and we look forward to seeing what comes of this new partnership.”
