    LONDON --

    Above+Beyond has named Laura Graham as head of production, with the brief to lead the London agency’s multi-channel production capabilities.

    Graham joins from Uncommon, where she was executive producer, and reports to Tom Bedwell, managing director of Above+Beyond.

    Before joining Uncommon, she was executive producer at AMV, where she oversaw the ASDA account and led on major projects including Bombay Sapphire’s Cannes Lions award-winning Design Museum installation.

    Graham also spent seven years in production roles at BBH, where she worked with Above+Beyond’s ECD Dom Goldman.

    While her experience includes numerous high-profile, big budget television campaigns, Graham’s also focused on delivering 360-degree campaigns for critical pieces of business and earned a reputation for developing non-traditional production approaches to fit with client format and budget restraints.

    Bedwell said of Graham, “A truly modern producer, with a great back catalog of multichannel work, she’s going to make a huge difference to our work and we can’t wait for her to start.”

    Graham said, “I’m looking forward to partnering with Dom and the team, to create audience focused work across platforms. I’ve always been driven to find new production approaches to meet creative aspirations and I look forward to building on this.”

    Special Prosecutor Kari Morrissey withdrew the appeal of a July decision at trial to dismiss the charge against Baldwin in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal on set for the movie "Rust" outside Santa Fe in October 2021.

    "Today's decision to dismiss the appeal is the final vindication of what Alec Baldwin and his attorneys have said from the beginning — this was an unspeakable tragedy but Alec Baldwin committed no crime," said defense attorneys Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro. "The rule of law remains intact in New Mexico."

    Representatives for the state attorney general could not be be reached immediately.

    The decision to drop the appeal solidifies the decision by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer halfway through trial to dismiss the case on allegations that police and prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense.

    Baldwin's trial was upended by revelations that ammunition was brought into the Santa Fe County sheriff's office in March by a man who said it could be related to Hutchins' killing. Prosecutors said they deemed the ammo unrelated and unimportant, while Baldwin's lawyers say investigators "buried" the evidence in a separate case file and filed a successful motion to dismiss.

    The district attorney's office said that under state law the New Mexico attorney general would have carried forward the appeal but "did not intend to exhaustively pursue the appeal on behalf of the prosecution."

    "As a result, the State's efforts to continue... Read More
