He joins the company after 10 years at Independent Films, London, where he held various roles from production to sales and helped to launch its in-house content division Indy8.

He’s known as a leader in both production and new business development.

    Shawn Lacy, co-founder of Biscuit, said of Reynolds-MacLean, “He has launched the commercial and branded content careers of many successful directors, and he understands the industry and its constant evolutions.”

    Additionally, Biscuit UK has promoted Hanna Bayatti to executive producer and head of sales.

    Biscuit Filmworks UK is the London outpost of the Los Angeles-based commercial production company founded in 2000 by director Noam Murro and managing director Lacy. Directors on the Biscuit UK roster include Aaron Ruell, Aaron Stoller, Andreas Nilsson, Ayse Altinok, Big Red Button, Christopher Riggert, Clay Weiner, Isaiah Seret, Jeff Low, Lucie Beecham, Matt Dilmore, Michael Downing, and Murro.

    “Biscuit is one of the few production companies that has truly been at the top of its game for years on end,” said Reynolds-MacLean. “I’ve admired Shawn and Noam for a long time and I’m very excited to start working alongside Hanna and the rest of the talented production team and spectacular roster of directors.”

    Tuesday, May 12, 2026

    The SAG-AFTRA National Board met yesterday (5/11) in a special videoconference meeting and decisively voted to approve the tentative agreement reached for the 2026 TV/Theatrical Contracts.

    --Performers’ digital replicas are now protected from crossing a picket line during a strike.
    --Protections for minors on the use of their digital replica.
