Exclusive: Veteran talent manager and producer Lori Kay has parted ways with NYC-based production entity Fp to relaunch Prevail Artist Entertainment, a talent management and production company she initially established in 2015.
The move came following Kay’s reevaluation of her approach to her business amidst last year’s double strike, and as she dives more fully into producing. Relaunching Prevail will mean a return to a more focused and hands-on approach to client relations and, Kay says, “truly feels like coming home.”
In Kay’s absence, Fp’s primary production division Framework Productions will continue forward, with founder and CEO Steven Pierce at the helm alongside Head of Production James Allerdyce. The company’s recently established talent division Fp Artists, though, which Kay had been tasked with heading up, will be dissolved.

Framework Productions, whose work has included creating content for clients including Saturday Night Live, Warner Bros., CBS and Amazon, is rebranding as Fp as it expands from a video production company into a full-service creative agency. Fp is getting into talent representation and narrative feature films, including two films in development and eyed to begin principal photography this year.
The newly established talent division — Fp Artists, headed by talent manager and producer Lori Kay — offers bicoastal reach to a roster of clients across film, television, and stage. Fp is led by Head of Production James Allerdyce, who oversees creative and quality control for all projects and has worked as producer, writer and director for countless clients.
“As we’ve taken on an increasingly diverse set of projects, we wanted to create an identity that builds on our past while allowing us to grow,” founder and CEO said Steven Pierce said.
