EXCLUSIVE: Film London has appointed Fiona Lamptey, Tamzin Taylor, Joy Gharoro-Akpojotor and Sarah Monteith as board members and charitable trustees.
The new members will help shape the strategy of Film London, the screen industries agency for the UK capital.
They bring the Film London board up to 16 people, alongside existing members Daniel Battsek (chair), Eve Gabereau, John Graydon, Bennett McGhee, Oliver Meek, Hamish Moseley, Dan Penfold, Priya Sahathevan, Vicky Stanbury, Natalie Usher, Nicole Yip, and Jules McKean.
Lamptey and Gharoro-Akpojotor are both UK producers – the former through her Fruit Tree Media, the latter through Joi Productions. Lamptey was previously director of UK film at Netflix, while both have previously been named Screen UK-Ireland Stars of Tomorrow, in 2019 and 2020.
Monteith is CEO at Armando Iannucci’s new production company Touchscreen, and was previously CEO of Baby Cow, while Taylor is director of worldwide developer relations, EMEA at Apple.
“Fiona, Tamzin, Sarah and Joy are tremendous additions to our board, bringing with them considerable skill, understanding and intellectual rigour across a range of key strategic areas,” said Battsek. “Their experiences across tech, streaming and indie filmmaking will make them a perfect fit for our formidable and talented board, and I look forward to working with them to champion and grow London’s position as a global hub for film, television and screen culture.”
“Fiona, Tamzin, Sarah and Joy are all leaders in their respective fields, and I couldn’t be more pleased to have such high-calibre leaders join the Film London board,” said Film London chief executive Adrian Wootton. “They represent exactly the kind of expertise, creativity and outside-the-box thinking we need to help propel us forward and anticipate industry demands as the screen industries continue to change, converge and coalesce.”
