Slim chance on Cunningham

Slim Pictures has welcomed Karen Cunningham back to the roster after a year-long hiatus from the company. During that time, Cunningham was represented worldwide by Partizan, which ended with the opening of her own shop in the UK, Pop-Up Films. Cunningham and Slim EP Tom Weissferdt have built a solid director/producer relationship over the past five years, first at Caviar, and more recently at Slim, where the two worked together on campaigns for such brands as Crayola, Toys R Us and Danon. Cunningham started directing in 2007 and in her first 18 months behind the camera collected several industry awards, including: BTAA Silver, Best New Director at Kinsale and a YDA/shots in Cannes. She also graced the cover of shots issue 102.
