The Corner Shop in London bolster their production expertise with the arrival of accomplished Executive Producer Sara Wallace.

Previously, Wallace was an EP at SMUGGLER for four years, where she worked with A-list talent such as Tom Hooper, Mark Molloy, Kathryn Bigelow and Aoife McArdle. She was also integral in shaping the up and coming roster, finding director Fenn O’Meally and playing a pivotal role in developing her career. Her work at SMUGGLER contributed to their Cannes Lions Palme D’Or win in 2022, along with numerous other accolades.

Wallace’s strengths as an EP also come from her agency experience, having spent four years in New York working with Droga5 and Mother producing many films and live events. While at Droga5 she produced a live event and music video for Beyoncé on behalf of the UN, which was performed live at the General Assembly Hall, UN HQ, in front of a celebrity audience, including Michelle Obama, the event raised over $100MM for charity.

In her spare time Wallace is a keen philanthropist and is Board Director at the charity Rich Mix. An arts centre, cinema and live music venue in Shoreditch aiming to make art and wellbeing accessible to marginalised and underprivileged communities. She is currently setting up an initiative to teach film in local underfunded schools.

Wallace has been a Jury member for every major design and advertising award show globally and has won a plethora of awards across the board. She says of joining the company, "what drew me to The Corner Shop is its genuine ethos of inclusivity and championing of voices previously disregarded.  It’s not enough to do great work anymore, you have to care - we all need be making a holistic effort towards positive change both politically and environmentally. Anna Hashmihas embodied that spirit from the start.  I’m pleased to be working alongside some of the smartest and most creative people I’ve met."

The Corner Shop founder Anna Hashmi says, ‘Sara Wallace’s undeniable experience, passion and genuine philanthropic sensibilities will be a great addition to represent and support our roster of authentically eclectic talent, from established commercial directors, new voices and emerging talent. Working along-side production focused EP Tess Mitchell, Sara Wallace adds to our development and management focus and will be a great asset’.
