We The Grimshaws Signs to HunkyDory Films
HunkyDory Films has announced the signing of directing team We The Grimshaws to its UK roster.
This new directing team, consisting of duo Craig Brownrigg and Brenna Horrocks were brought together by a curious mix of fate and poultry themed cross stitch. Now, they’re partners in all things creative and life and have taken up residence in London at HunkyDory.
Craig's directed a boatload of award winning, hilarious commercials for everyone from Progressive to McDonalds to Amazon, while Brenna began her career as an award winning agency creative at Arnold. She’s been freelance copywriting and designing for major brands ever since. Oh, and she's also a published poet and essayist too.
A longtime admirer of Craig’s solo work, HunkyDory EP Ronae Rayson says: “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.”
On joining HunkyDory, Craig says: “There are two main qualities we look for in a production company—great work and nice people. We already knew of HunkyDory’s incredible roster and all the amazing work they produce. So it really came down to a vibe check, and after talking with John and Ronae we knew right away we’d found the perfect fit for We The Grimshaws in the UK. We got off the call, acted cool for about 17 minutes, then let them know we’d love to join the team.”
Brenna says: “I’m pretty sure it was only about 17 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. It’s clear each of their instincts are a big part of what makes HunkyDory great, and we are very excited to add our cinematic brand of weirdness to the mix.”
