Lilla Hurst set up DRIVE with Ben Barrett in 2013 as an agency specialising in pre-sale & co-production finance for factual and scripted programming.

The team went on to launch their distribution business in 2016 and are now an 8 strong team with exemplary relationships in both co-production and finished programme sales across the world.

The Drive catalogue emphasizes quality over quantity and as such offers a uniquely boutique sevice to producers seeking a more tailored approach to co-production and distribution.

Lilla has extensive experience in television, having held several key posts in production, distribution & broadcast entities before setting up Drive. 

Prior to Drive, Lilla launched Lillavision and was previously Head of Co-production at Channel 5, Head of Acquisitions and Co-productions at RDF International, now Zodiak and Director of TVF International.
