New director and producer at Plaza Films

Director Sam Bennetts and producer Edwina Speakman have teamed up at Plaza.  

Bennetts’ has recently completed TVCs for clients Ebay, Riva & RTA and Speakman arrives from 8com.

“Sam’s just brilliant and we clicked straightaway” says Speakman. “He’s got that magic combination of having a great eye and genuine narrative skill. He’s also got so much passion for everything he does.”

“Edwina’s smart and funny. She really gets it,” Bennetts’ says of Speakman. “And, Plaza is obviously one of the most respected and awarded production companies around. There’s a fantastic energy and positivity here.”

Pete Masterton, who put the two together, thinks that they will be a brilliant addition for Plaza.

“I have been watching Sam’s work for quite some time. He’s a remarkable talent, with a huge future. And Edwina was my first choice to work with him."

"A team’s energy is so important in realising the most for every project and to take a piece of creative to the absolute best level it can be. I think it’s a real coup to bring them together,” says Masterton.
