Epicenter offers its clients a broad range of management, development, and production expertise. After a successful business career in New York City, Allard Cantor attended the American Film Institute’s producing program. During his time at AFI, he discovered he liked helping writers develop their material. This, combined with his years of sales experience, led to an organic shift into management, and in early 2012 he founded Epicenter. He was later joined by fellow AFI alum Jarrod Murray, a former development executive turned independent producer/manager.

Epicenter is a literary management and production company with an emphasis on character-driven material.

​With a continued focus on identifying and guiding the careers of emerging creative individuals, Epicenter aims to place itself at the center of all things film, television and new media.​
