Preethi Mavahalli is launching Paper Mill Productions, a new scripted label within ITV Studios to develop premium content for U.K. and global audiences.
Mavahalli is currently the creative director at Ben Stephenson’s transatlantic drama house Poison Pen Studios, overseeing projects such as Adultery and The Dark. The content she develops at Paper Mill Productions will be repped globally by ITV Studios. The new label begins operations in April with Luke Woellhaf as EP, who also moves over from Poison Pen.
Mavahalli said: “Almost my entire television career has been as part of ITV Studios, so it only felt natural to take this exciting and significant step as part of the family. I’m thrilled to launch this new venture and continue to collaborate with exceptional storytellers and creatives, Julian, and the wonderfully talented team at ITV Studios.”
Julian Bellamy, MD at ITV Studios, added: “ITV Studios has a long tradition of championing talented drama executives. I am delighted that the launch of Paper Mill Productions marks the next exciting phase of Preethi’s journey with us, creating a dedicated label for bold and impactful drama.”
