Freefolk has a brand new colour department powered by industry maestros Duncan Russell, Marty McMullan, Matt Turner, Peter Oppersdorff, and Vic Parker. HQ calls it a "freelance collective" and "an exciting transition for the business" that CEO Fi Kilroe could talk all day about (she is, of course, far too busy for that).

Kilroe instead sums it up like this: "The move to this curated collective is a new direction for us, and we think it's an answer to a lot of the industry's current problems. To have five artists of this calibre on one roster is a no-brainer, but it also gives our clients a fantastic range of talent to collaborate with. "Each brings their own distinct signature," Kilore says, "and a catalogue of industry leading work, too. That not only allows us to match any brief that comes our way, but a bespoke offering will set us apart in a time where agility is proving to be a super power in the industry." |

Duncan Russell, Marty McMullan, Matt Turner, Peter Oppersdorff, and Vic Parker make themselves at home. |

Vittorio Giannini, whose superpower is business development, adds: "The move to this new model is an expression of Freefolk’s proudly independent position. Established, in-demand talent, that is nimble enough to flex with capacity. The department can now scale to the project and the schedule as required, in a way that more rigid studios cannot. "Our clients therefore get freelance level flexibility, with the backing of cutting-edge facility support. At the moment, that combination seems to be getting harder to find, especially as the industry consolidates. That's the gap that Freefolk now fills." Colour us intrigued. |
