Justine Kershaw and Dan Chambers, co-Founders of Blink Films, said: “Laura is an outstanding producer and great creative force. Since she arrived, she has created and overseen multiple high-profile series, with more to come.

“As we build on our expanding slate and international client base, with orders from Discovery+, Hulu, CBS, Paramount + alongside Channel 4, Smithsonian and National Geographic and more in pre-production, promoting Laura to Creative Director will help us keep this momentum going.”
