We’re thrilled she’s joining us.”
Ben Davies, Managing Director, Stink US adds: “This is where Stink is at its strongest: working across territories to identify the next generation of filmmakers, storytellers who genuinely connect with the audience and artists who match our culture.

I'm drawn to brave thinkers, and from the very beginning it was clear that Stink shared that same ambition.

Stink's global network gives me the opportunity to keep telling these stories in new markets whilst growing in the UK. I honestly couldn't think of a better team to do it with.”
