About us

A talent-first production company known for its established storytellers such as Ellen Kuras, Peter Thwaites and comedy duo Peter Martin, it will actively level the field for important, diverse voices and perspectives.

From developing first-time commercials directors like Malik Vitthal, awarded an Emmy for P&G's The Talk, to an equal roster of women led by pioneering commercial director Sara Dunlop, The Corner Shop will continue to champion emerging UK and global talent. They welcome Macedonian director, Tamara Kotevska, Oscar-nominated for the groundbreaking Honeyland, Russian American filmmaker, photographer and Magnum nominee, Diana Markosian, and Sundance Ignite Fellow writer-director Luna Carmoon, who fills a distinct gap in provocative, female voices who can bring lightness to darker subjects.

Not only an award-winning commercials company, The Corner Shop invest in talent who are additionally accomplished writers, proactively supporting their roster to develop culturally relevant entertainment. Current commissions include a Channel 4 scripted comedy anthology series, co-written and to be directed by Emmy-nominated Sindha Agha, a global documentary series about life during the pandemic across 48 countries led by the legendary Ellen Kuras and A Revolutionary Act, a documentary short behind the scenes of the Black Panther movement by filmmaker and activist Malakai for Participant Media. Most of these projects in turn are intentionally set up to encourage new and alternative voices in directing and writing.
