The Corner Shop London team continues to grow with the arrival of Tanya Ramsurrun, an experienced Director’s rep/ EP with a CV that has spanned a range of renowned production companies.
Ramsurrun’s passion for working with talent started out working on UK hiphop videos and after leaving the world of publishing behind she quickly built up her career working in production. Ramsurrun brings extensive experience having worked with award-winning directors as well as discovering and nurturing talent from the ground up. She is passionate about finding unique voices who are deeply connected to culture and supporting them to strengthen their skills. She has contributed across a wide range of projects, both branded and non-branded, including commercials, music videos, shorts, feature documentaries, social and original content.
Ramsurrun had this to say: “I love what The Corner Shop stands for; home of exceptional talent with a range of experience - it’s inherently grounded in culture and fully dedicated to this purpose which results in storytelling that authentically resonates; rooted in locality and community but also global. In filmmaking, especially now; respecting the real voices which represent the communities that they represent is key. They have shopped the globe to create and curate a diverse roster of original, eclectic directors, from established Oscar-nominated names to the latest breakthrough talent. Commercials and long form, scripted and documentary with a lot of sauce: that’s what agencies and brands will find on the shelf.
I had been recommended to meet the legendary Anna Hashmi for years, as we have a few things in common but somehow had not managed to make the stars align. Serendipitously, our paths crossed in Copenhagen at a documentary festival and since then we’d kept in touch. Heather is a smart, forward thinking powerhouse and with her running the London office and future plans in the pipeline I am honoured to join the team and look forward to building the presence of such a special production house.”
Heather Link, EP says: “We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Tanya to The Corner Shop London. Her reputation, relationships and instinct for brilliant talent match the momentum we’re building as a company. On a personal level, Tanya is a genuinely warm, sharp and hugely respected person to work with and I couldn’t be happier.”
