Producer Daisy Allsop has joined UK-based production, financing and sales company WestEnd Films as head of acquisitions and development.
Allsop is already in place in her new role, through which she will oversee projects across WestEnd’s film and TV slate. She will attend this month’s Berlinale and European Film Market (February 16-22) on behalf of the company.
Allsop will continue to operate her own producing slate through her company Archface Films; her credits include Annabel Jankel’s 2018 romance Tell It To The Bees with Anna Paquin and Holliday Grainger.
“Daisy has a great instinct for material and extensive experience in script development,” said Maya Amsellem, WestEnd’s managing director. “Her history as a producer makes her a real asset in building close working relationships with filmmaking teams as we continue to build our sales, production and financing slate of feature films and series.”
“I’m looking forward to seeking out new titles, bringing in new relationships, and being a practical and creative support to the films on our slate,” added Allsop.
WestEnd has also added Noemie Bacache as sales and acquisitions executive. Bacache joins from Trinity Media Financing, where she managed European acqusitions.
WestEnd’s current slate includes Matt Brown’s Freud’s Last Session starring Anthony Hopkins as Sigmund Freud and Matthew Goode as C.S. Lewis, which Sony Pictures Classics acquired for territories including North America at last year’s American Film Market.
