FAMILIA SCORE SEVEN.
2 March 2023

Seven, count them, seven new directors have joined FAMILIA for global representation. Buoyed by increased demand in 2022, the company now boasts a twenty-plus-strong roster that tackles commercials, music videos, photography, and much more besides.

Toby Walsham, partner and managing director at FAMILIA, says: "After an incredible past year, we're excited to see what 2023 will bring. We hit the jackpot with these seven phenomenal global talents! Each director is a powerhouse of creativity, bringing a unique set of skills and perspectives that will enhance our already exceptional group of directors and photographers."

The septet is as follows: Aggressive (Alex Topaller and Dan Shapiro); Diane Russo; Will Innes Smith; Hans Emanuel; Jimmy Marble; YUANN; and, last but not least, Zwelethu Radebe. Everyone's psyched for the year ahead, not least Walsham: "Their addition to our already amazing roster is exciting, and I have no doubt that 2023 will be full of amazing projects."
