Kagan served with Range co-founder Pete Micelli in his former role at Entertainment One, where Kagan helped oversee development, packaging and strategic partnerships. Kagan started at CAA in motion picture lit and, before that, at UTA. “Michael has been an invaluable colleague and partner of mine over the last few years,” Micelli said. “He’s as dynamic an executive you’ll find with a keen instinct for both the creative process and business development. I’m thrilled to formally name him a manager and to continue working with him for many years to come.”
