Ivan Dunleavy has joined Milk as chairman as the U.K.-based VFX firm raises new finance and scales up.
Milk has been more involved in TV than film, working on series including “Doctor Who” and “Sherlock.” As Dunleavy joins, it has raised £2 million ($2.6 million) from private investment group Bgf, which it will use to increase capacity and do more work in features.
Milk, based in London and in the Welsh capital of Cardiff, was founded in 2013 by Will Cohen and a group of other VFX executives. The company said it would be adding to its 150 staff with the new investment. Its upcoming projects include Alex Garland feature “Annihilation” and “Kingsman 2,” as well as Channel 4 and Amazon Philip K. Dick series “Electric Dreams.”
Dunleavy comes in after leaving Pinewood in April after 17 years. A successor has yet to be announced, with chairman Paul Golding in control as interim chief executive.
