With a growing and really exciting slate of TV projects for the UK and international networks and SVOD platforms – and a growing slate of feature films heading into production – it’s a great moment for Sara to join the team.”
Raw recently wrapped on featured Dream Horse, starring Toni Collette and Damien Lewis.
