Robin Shenfield, The Mill

Robin is co-founder and the CEO of The Mill, a world-leading visual effects company with bases where it counts - London, New York and, since January 2007, Los Angeles.

On a day-to-day basis Robin oversees the operation of the group and its media internet business, Beam.TV. He’s also performed the role of Executive Producer for Visual Effects on a number of high-profile feature films, including Ridley Scott’s 'Gladiator', winner of the 2001 Academy Award for Achievement in Visual Effects.

Prior to The Mill, Robin was head of production at Rushes, a post-production company owned by Virgin, and before entering the murky world of visual effects in the mid-1980’s, he was a journalist who specialised in writing about the media, television and film production.

Robin is a director of the British Television Advertising Awards (BTAA).
