Former Netflix Execs Open Production Studio in London
Bec Mortimer, Fiona Lamptey, Amber Taylor and Vinnie Shergill, four former senior Netflix executives who between them have decades of experience in the entertainment industry involving some of the world’s most successful shows, have joined forces to launch Juno Studios.
Headquartered in London, the new venture is described as an “innovative entertainment studio” with production capabilities and creative expertise across development, production, distribution and marketing.
“Our collective expertise in storytelling runs across development, production, marketing and distribution and we’re excited to bring our entertainment experience to our partners,” the founders said in a joint statement. “Juno Studios operates as an end to end studio with a collaborative cross-platform approach, so we can engage with audiences in the spaces they already love. We are collaborating with writers, filmmakers, on-screen talent, creators, cultural organisations and brands that are intentional about longevity and legacy; who want to bring value to audiences by cultivating belonging.”
