Our Team is made up of seasoned industry pros, many of whom have collaborated with IFTA, BAFTA, Academy Award, and Emmy Award winning studios, artists, and production companies. Combined, we have accrued countless IMDb credits. Some of our staff also hold voting rights within organisations that award excellence in motion pictures, television, and advertising.
