Brandon Hall,
Creative Director
Sutherland Models was thrilled to have Brandon join their team 21 years ago after developing his incredible eye working for top competitors and scouting across Canada for many years. His creativity and vision are a force to be reckoned with and he has been instrumental in building a strong, diverse and inclusive roster. Brandon can elevate a model’s career like no other and has strong and deep relationships with top agencies around the world.

Marian Meschino,
Senior Agent
Marian has 21 years' experience in the talent industry, making her one of the most influential and respected agents in Toronto. She is a graduate from the Humber Film and Television program with honours and started an independent film production company shortly after graduation. With her penchant for casting, she quickly recognized talent management was her passion and has managed youth talent specifically since 2007. Marian has guided Kamera Talent actors in productions from Toronto to Vancouver to Hollywood.
When she is not performing agent duties, she is immersed in her love of old black and white films together with her chef husband and young son. Marian says that the Oscars are her Superbowl…she relates to Monica from the show “Friends”…and loves art, books, hats and food, but not necessarily in that order. Marian says that there is nothing better in the world than the feeling she gets when her talent lands the perfect part!
