“I’m excited to be signing to Darling Films. I’m drawn to environments where people are deeply invested in the process, where ideas and stories are shaped with real attention and sensitivity to what they can become. Darling shares that same sense of artistry, which I felt immediately. Their position as one of the only truly all-female owned, led and staffed Production companies makes it even more powerful." said Vik.

In addition, Eva is a photographer who has shot for Vogue (as well as been on the cover!) Harper’s Bazaar and helmed integrated campaigns for Oliver Peoples, Polène and Lancel amongst others. We are thrilled to be officially representing Eva Vik at Darling Films." said Clare Timms / MD / Co-Owner Darling Films.
