Molly Manning Walker

London-based Rogue has added Molly Manning Walker to its directorial roster for U.K. representation spanning commercials and branded content. Walker’s arrival at Rogue coincides with the launch of her debut commercial for TV, produced by Rogue’s very own Maddy Easton. The film for Amazon’s new pan-European UEFA Women’s Football brand campaign, centers around Walker’s passion--football--and is a celebration of the skill, spirit and sheer quality in the women’s game today. As a cinematographer, Walker has worked on a slate of commercial projects with many directors and production companies, notably Rogue’s Lisa Gunning and Stacy Wall as well as a long-term collaboration with her good friend and director Billy Boyd Cape, for brands including Diesel, Amazon, Nike, Uber-Eats, NHS and Pride.  A multi award-winning writer/director and cinematographer, Walker’s feature directorial debut How to Have Sex (2023) won the Un Certain Regard Award at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and the European Discovery – Prix FIPRESCI at the 36th European Film Awards. It also earned three nominations at the 77th British Academy Film Awards including Outstanding British Film and Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer. Mia McKenna-Bruce, the film’s lead actor, won the EE BAFTA Rising Star Award for her performance. Walker’ first feature film as a cinematographer--director Charlotte Regan’s Scrapper--won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 2023. Walker was nominated at the BIFAs for best cinematography and the film also went on to be nominated for Outstanding British Film at the 77th British Academy Film Awards. Director Walker’s first short film Good Thanks, You? was included in the Semaine De La Critique program at Cannes and her second short The Forgotten C was BIFA nominated.....
