There is perhaps no better place to continue my passion for championing distinct creative voices to move and entertain wide audiences, and I am thrilled for the opportunity to contribute to the company’s fantastic film legacy.”

“Nirokhi’s addition to New Regency is another step forward in the development of our leadership team and the growth of our feature film department.
