IT'S WE THE GRIMSHAWS AT HUNKYDORY.
23 May 2023

Director duo We The Grimshaws have joined HunkyDory for UK representation. We The Grimshaws are Craig Brownrigg and Brenna Horrocks, who say: "We got off the call, acted cool for about seventeen minutes, then let them know we'd love to join the team."

Horrocks notes: "I'm pretty sure it was only about seventeen seconds, but who's counting? The folks at HunkyDory are some of the loveliest people in the industry, although they are probably cursing us for keeping them up so late on the Zooms. We are very excited to add our cinematic brand of weirdness to the mix."



Executive producer Rayson, who's had Brownrigg on her radar for yonks, adds: "When we first came across Craig some years ago, we instantly fell in love with his work and became bigger fans of him than even his own mum!

"She was bitterly disappointed that it took over two years for him to sign with us, but it was very worth it because not only did we get Craig, but we also bagged the awesome and incredibly talented Brenna as well! We really feel like we are winning and delighted to have We The Grimshaws join our HunkyDory family."



Reckon We The Grimshaws are right for your next project? Then call Ronae Rayson on 020 7267 5000 or email ronae@hunkydoryfilms.co.uk.
