Our VP team specialises in travel simulation and other complex, high-demand environments, with a portfolio that includes work for Apple TV, Netflix, Marvel Studios, Sky, BBC, Lionsgate, and Paramount.



Catherine Strachan, Client Relationship Executive, and Stephen Maddox, Producer, representing iMAG at Pinewood Studios, following the recent expansion news.

With our mix of dry hire options and fully hands-on VP services, we can offer the flexibility and expertise that modern productions demand.”
