IT'S KEVIN THOMAS AT MOXIE PICTURES.
22 March 2023

Moxie Pictures now represent Kevin Thomas in the UK and the United States. Thomas joined Team America, if you will, back in January and likes what he's seen so far—let's hear what he has to say about the London branch.

"You only have to look at the list of Moxie directors to know why I have joined them," Thomas says. "What a list. It's scary good. It's a list I'm delighted to be on. If it were someone's grocery list, that 'someone' would be in the Harrods Food Halls. And I'm excited to work with Dawn [Laren] because I've admired her for many years. She's the icing on the cake."


Laren is equally effusive: "I have been an admirer of Kevin's work for as long as I can remember. His directing talents are multifaceted, always delivering the perfect balance of wry humour, gloriously considered art direction, and stunning photography.

"I'm over the moon that he has joined the Moxie family and can't wait to see what the future holds." You can tell it's a big deal for Laren and the company, but—as this charming 2015 Amazon Prime commercial demonstrates—Thomas knows that smaller is sometimes better.


To discuss a potential collaboration with Kevin Thomas, ring Dawn Laren on 020 7935 4930 or email dawn@moxiepictures.com.
