    Director Milo Blake Signs With PRETTYBIRD For U.K. Representation

    Tuesday, August 11, 2026

    PRETTYBIRD has added director Milo Blake to its U.K. roster. He continues to be handled by Furlined for commercial representation in the U.S.

    Blake is a British filmmaker, based in London, whose style and fascination with stories have been shaped by the cultural resonance of the city and the people within it. His eye for a set piece developed early, as whole worlds and universes built from his toys regularly took over the rooms of his childhood home. Inspired by the eclectic films in his parents’ DVD collection, that curiosity soon found a more permanent medium in filmmaking, sowing the seeds of a lifelong passion for film.

His music video work has been screened and gained recognition at SXSW Festival, Oscar-qualifying film festivals like New Orleans and Rhode Island as well as the UKMVAs. His video for Oscar Jerome in 2025 won him a Vimeo Staff Pick. His hybrid feature concert film, All the Way From the Sun, documented Loyle Carner’s epic inaugural show at the Royal Albert Hall for his acclaimed album, “Hugo.”

    In 2025, Blake’s film The Empty Seat for the Paralympics won a Clio for Social Good, Gold in the YDA commercial category, Best New Director at the Young Arrows, and received Silver and Bronze awards at Ciclope. Recent films include History is Calling for Puy du Fou España and Our House is Not a Home for the homelessness charity Shelter, which garnered a Wood Pencil at D&AD and a Silver at the British Arrows in 2026. Prior to joining PRETTYBIRD, Blake was repped in the U.K. ad market by... Read More
