EXCLUSIVE: London-based documentary specialist Dogwoof has appointed Sam Joyce as sales and acquisitions manager in a newly created position ahead of this year’s International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA).
Joyce joins from factual TV-focused distributor TVF International, where he most recently served as senior acquisitions manager, bringing almost a decade of experience in international sales and acquisitions across non-fiction titles.
He will help drive international sales and co-production deals across Dogwoof’s slate, with a particular focus on Asian markets, while also supporting the company’s chief content officer, Oli Harbottle, on acquisitions.
The hire comes at a time when Dogwoof is increasingly expanding its activities into premium documentary series, both through acquisitions and international sales.
“Sam brings exactly the breadth of experience we’re looking for at Dogwoof, combining extensive international sales expertise, particularly across Asia, with a strong background in acquisitions,” said Dogwoof CEO Anna Godas. “As we expand our remit into documentary series, he will play a key role in strengthening our international sales reach while identifying and acquiring new projects.”
Joyce will attend this year’s IDFA, where Dogwoof has three titles in the official selection: Sundance prize-winning Birds Of War, TIFF-selected Edward Said: Between Worlds and Sara Dosa’s Sundance title TIme And Water.
