Endeavor has expanded its fledgling production department, hiring Devin Mann, who ran the commercial and musicvideo department at Innovative Artists.

Mann joins Jonathan Silverman, who started the department last summer when he moved to Endeavor from Paradigm.

Mann will focus on commercial and musicvideo work while Silverman continues to focus on film and TV. Mann, who spent seven years at Innovative, brings with him 22 clients, including musicvid cinematographers Martin Ahlgren, Nixon Binney, Steve Chivers and Vance Burberry; production designer Stefania Cella; and "Madonna: Truth or Dare" lenser Christophe Lanzenberg.

Since Endeavor hatched its below-the-line department last June, the agency has signed "The Good Shepherd" editor Tariq Anwar, "United 93" d.p. Barry Ackroyd, "Veronica Guerin" cinematographer Brendan Galvin and "Perfume" lenser Frank Griebe.
