Talent Agent
Talent Agent
Having gone to Leeds College of Art to pursue my passions of painting and photography, I left my degree to start working for global production company, Stink Films. I worked for Stink Films for 5 great years before transitioning to working freelance in commercial film production in the UK and Europe.
During this time I was fortunate to work with award winning directors such as Tom Hooper, Yann Demange and Nicolas Winding-Refn. But, after 7 years working in commercials I craved more creative diversity. I'd worked with LUX Artists since their beginning and been impressed by how the agency had developed in a remarkably short space of time. When they were looking for a new narrative agent it felt like the right opportunity to use the skills I’d learned in production while directing my career towards something that I could find individually more fulfilling and work with a wealth of artists I admire. I also love people and talking, so that helps…
I ’ve now been at LUX for 5 years and in that time we have continued to grow the agency and support our talent build on new and existing relationships and work on exciting projects and creative challenges. We've also developed a mentoring scheme with the BFI Film Academy for young people looking to break into a career in film to help the industry to become more accessible. I feel privileged to represent the talent we do and that I get to work with amazing minds and vision. I'm also very proud to work for an agency that has such a curious spirit and artistic merit at the heart of every decision. Viva LUX!
