Range has signed David Gelb, the filmmaker behind Netflix’s pioneering culinary series Chef’s Table, for representation, according to a Deadline report. The move adds a high‑profile, award‑winning talent to the agency’s growing roster of creative leaders.

Gelb is a four‑time James Beard Award winner and has earned Emmy and Grammy nominations for his work. He first broke into the culinary documentary world with his debut feature, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, which he shot and produced entirely in a cramped 10‑seat restaurant on a Tokyo subway station. The film’s intimate portrayal of sushi master Jiro Ono helped launch Netflix’s original series Chef’s Table, cementing Gelb’s reputation for blending artistry with storytelling.

The signing underscores Range’s commitment to representing filmmakers who push genre boundaries. By bringing Gelb into its fold, the agency signals a continued focus on documentary and narrative projects that explore culture, food, and human experience. Industry observers note that Gelb’s track record of critical acclaim and audience engagement positions him well for future ventures that could span streaming platforms, television, and feature films.

Looking ahead, the partnership is expected to open doors for new culinary‑centric projects and collaborations with other creatives on Range’s list. With Gelb’s proven ability to craft compelling narratives around food, the agency anticipates a slate of original content that could further elevate the culinary documentary genre on global streaming services.
