Dirty Monty (London)

Founder

A former lawyer qualified in both Paris and London, Rachael Mooney spent 3+ years in Los Angeles working with Oscar-winning producer Fred Roos (The Godfather II, Lost in Translation, St Vincent) on the development and selection of film projects, acting as both reader and assistant. With Fred’s mentorship, Rachael founded production company Dirty Monty, investing in Austin Film Festival Best Comedy Screenplay Winner The P.A.N.D.A. War by Dan Shea. Now based in London, Rachael is currently: writing and developing an animated feature based on the art work of Japanese artist Hiroshi Yoshii; producing a script about Henry Miller’s experience living in Big Sur, California (with producer Orian Williams whose work includes the superlative CONTROL); and co-writing, with the President and CEO of the Cirque du Soleil, Mr. Daniel Lamarre, a book about the business of creativity. A graduate of Oxford University (MA Jurisprudence), her decade spent at the cutting edge of corporate and commercial law has provided her with a wealth of experience managing conflict, running teams, and negotiating contracts, all skills that serve her well in the production arena. Moving from Paris to LA, she pursued her love of film through studies at UCLA Extension, with a particular emphasis on creative production, and the legal and financial aspects of the film business.
