Rosie Gaunt-Mathieson directed Victorian Plumbing’s "Boss Your Bathroom" campaign, featuring Peter Crouch as a football pundit analyzing a couple’s DIY bathroom renovation. Known for her work in comedy, Rosie has directed projects with Vic and Bob, Alan Partridge, and Romesh Ranganathan, as well as commercials for Tesco and Bumble. Her short film "Just Delivered" won the Audience Choice Award at the Calgary International Film Festival.

With a background in both development and production, Rosie brings a sharp comedic edge to her directing. In "Boss Your Bathroom," she combines humor and everyday life, making DIY home improvement feel fun and accessible. Her ability to create engaging, character-driven content is clear in this campaign and across her broader work in TV, advertising, and film.

Mr Bates vs The Post Office director joins Dark Energy!

James Strong, who is one of the UK’s most highly regarded drama directors, joins Dark Energy.

His recent mini-series “Mr Bates vs The Post Office” has been described as possibly the most impactful UK TV drama of all time.

“Mr Bates vs the Post Office seems set to be remembered as a show that changed society more than most politicians and lawyers could ever imagine.” The Guardian

James’s previous credits include being Lead Director and Executive Producer on the Smash Hit show Broadchurch, 11.22.63 (produced by JJ Abrams), Fire County and Council Of Dads (both produced by Jerry Bruckheimer), ITV’s Liar, BBC’s Vigil (Season 1), Vanity Fair, as well as iconic TV series such as Downton Abbey and Dr Who

Strong’s first commercials (for TK Maxx, Nationwide Bank and Transplant UK) were produced by Dark Energy - with the latter winning a Creative Circle Silver Award. He re-joins Dark Energy after taking time out to concentrate on his film and TV projects
