Teresa Moneo, formerly director, international original film at Netflix, has taken over the UK original film remit at Netflix as part of a restructure of the London-based UK film team that has seen Bradley Quirk leave the streamer, as reported by Screen Daily. In her new role, Moneo will report to Anne Mensah, Vice President of Content, along with Mona Qureshi, Director, UK series.
In her previous role, Moneo oversaw award-winning non-English language films including “Society Of The Snow” and “The Hand Of God.” Previously, the executive worked at companies including Pathe Productions and Focus Features, and joined Netflix in 2019, working with David Kosse, then Vice President of International Film, who left the company in September 2022.
The changes to the UK film team follow the appointment of Los Angeles-based Dan Lin as chairman of Netflix Film, taking over from Scott Stuber, in April.
Bradley Quirk was hired in July 2023 to oversee Netflix’s UK film slate, working as Manager, Netflix UK. His appointment was part of a reshuffle that had seen Fiona Lamptey leave as director of UK features in May 2023 and the effective closure of the Breakout initiative for rising filmmakers the streamer ran with Creative UK.
Upcoming films backed by Netflix UK include Ben Taylor’s “Joy,” starring James Norton, Bill Nighy and Thomasin McKenzie, produced by Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey’s Wildgaze Films, about the story behind the world’s first baby born via IVF, Louise Brown. Additionally, Tom Harper’s untitled “Peaky Blinders” film, starring Cillian Murphy, will start production later this year in the UK.
