Golden LA has added Dahlia Stone to its team as executive producer. Formerly on the sales side, she has repped an array of creative companies, including Golden LA. This transition is an inspired pivot for Stone, informed by her years of experience across all facets of production.
Stone prides herself on offering creative solutions for modern production needs. She believes film and advertising reflect and influence contemporary society and actively recognizes great opportunities to create positive change in our industry. She brings to her new role a background in social justice work and arts organizing. As a sales agent, she was a West Coast talent rep with Stephanie Stephens Reps and worked as a Texas/Midwest rep with GRG Partners.
Golden LA is a multi-disciplinary studio led by fellow executive producer Geoff McLean. Golden LA’s previous commercial work includes collaborations with brands like Amazon, Google, Nike, FIFA, Miller Lite, Asics, Netflix, Apple and TikTok. Golden LA is also home to Goldenchild, a design-based arm of the company dedicated to CGI, VR/AR experiences, and creating elevated visual work for brands, agencies, and performing artists.
Golden’s managing director, Matthew Marquis, said, “Dahlia is a star when it comes to production. She’s whip-smart and has a unique way of approaching creative problem-solving. We’ve loved working with her as our sales rep and are thrilled to have her on board as an EP.”
