SKUNK was created back in 2008 in NYC by Matt Factor and has
since opened offices in Los Angeles and most recently in London (2016).
SKUNK London represents twelve directors; Andrew Dominik, Brent Harris, Brian Lee Hughes, Glendyn Ivin, Jonathan Augustavo, Paul Minor, Raf Wathion, Saman Kesh and Jim Hosking from the US office, and since opening the UK office they have added to their already stellar roster by signing Georgi Banks-Davies, Ben Strebel and Amanda Blue (who are all also now repped by SKUNK in the US).
Between them they boast over a billion views on YouTube and have
made films for hundreds of the biggest brands ranging from BMW to Burger King
to Geico to Nike. Working with talents such as Brad Pitt, Eric Bana,
Macklemore, Kristen Wiig, Will Ferrell and Ben Stiller on commercials,
features, short films and music videos.
SKUNK’s directors have been awarded, amongst others,
2 Academy Award nominations, 9 Cannes Lions plus 10 nominations, Gold
awards and many nominations at the British Arrows and Creative Circle awards,
Silvers and Bronzes at the Clio Awards, the Ciclope Festival and at The One
Show and has featured in Creativity’s Production Company A-List 3 times, in a
Standout spot in 2015, and most recently debuted in London as the youngest in
Televisual's 30 Commercial Production Companies list of 2018, at number 20.
The move to the
UK saw Kate Taylor appointed as SKUNK London’s Managing Director/Executive
Producer, bringing a wealth of experience to the SKUNK family. Kate has
previously produced for a number of London’s leading production companies
including Rattling Stick, Sonny, Biscuit Filmworks and Outsider amongst many
others. Kate has the sole intention of producing fantastic work with
talent that she loves and bringing significant London exposure to the already
well-established US roster.
SKUNK is a company that prides itself on producing
consistently creative and award-winning work, and by successfully exposing
London and European talent into the SKUNK fold for exposure on both sides of
the pond.
