Mindhouse Productions has given Sophie Ardern, director of production, a stake in the company, promoting her to co-owner.<\/p>\n
Ardern has been with Mindhouse since its launch three years ago, having joined from October Films, where she worked across a slate of projects for Prime Video, BBC, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Discovery. She has also worked in head of production and production executive roles for The Ideas Room, Fresh One and Platform Productions.<\/p>\n
The appointment sees Ardern become co-owner and Company Director of Mindhouse, joining existing company directors Louis Theroux, Nancy Strang and Arron Fellows.<\/p>\n
Ardern said: \u201cWorking with Nancy, Louis and Arron for the past three years has been a joy. Their energy and creativity are infectious; we make a great team, and I look forward to growing the company with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Strang said: \u201cMaking Sophie a partner in Mindhouse was a no-brainer. She\u2019s a phenomenal director of production, a brilliant colleague and has been a crucial part of establishing and growing the company from the start. I\u2019m delighted we\u2019re finally able to formally recognize her contribution.\u201d<\/p>\n
Theroux said: \u201cJust like a table, Mindhouse has four legs, of which Sophie is one. I realize some tables have three legs, but Mindhouse is not that kind of table. She is an indispensable part of the team, a terrific collaborator, a pleasure to be alongside in the trenches and a key reason why Mindhouse works as well as it does. It\u2019s only natural she should own part of the company.\u201d<\/p>\n
Additionally, Kate Pumfrey has joined Mindhouse as head of development, having previously worked for Twenty Twenty, Love Productions, MultiStory Media and Crackit Productions.<\/p>\n
Pumfrey said: \u201cI have long admired the talented team at Mindhouse and their thought-provoking, innovative and entertaining brand of unscripted shows. I\u2019m thrilled to be joining the company in developing the next wave of premium documentaries and popular factual programming.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
