Mill men usher in Untold
Darren O’Kelly and Neil Davies, formerly of The Mill, launch new indie creative studio.
An independent creative studio and community, Untold Studios, has launched this week in the creative hub of east London. It's headed up by industry leaders Darren O’Kelly and Neil Davies, previously COO and ECD respectively at The Mill.
Opening with 20 award-winning artists, creators, producers and technologists, Untold Studios is based in a 6,000ft² space in the White Collar Factory building on Silicon Roundabout in London's Old Street area. It already has a number of projects in development, including collaborations on high profile agency campaigns and episodic TV series and the production of an original feature documentary with the Sundance Award-winning team behind The Summit.
Untold Studios is thought to be the world’s first entirely cloud-based studio underpinned by a next-generation technology digital infrastructure. Amazon Web Services (AWS) has built an Untold Studios laboratory at AWS and are providing hardware, processing and rendering capabilities in a secure and encrypted MPAA-approved environment.
Dorfman Media Holdings, chaired by Sir Lloyd Dorfman CBE, founder of the Travelex Group, has taken a significant minority interest in the company. Charles Dorfman, CEO of Dorfman Media Holdings, joins the board. In addition Pat Joseph, co-founder of The Mill, is on the board as non-executive director.
