Emily Agnew steps down from MGP
17/07/2011: We are sad to announce that Emily Agnew has stepped down from her position at MokitaGrit Productions and will no longer be involved in the day to day running of the company. After much consideration, she has decided that she can no longer give the company the amount of time and commitment she would like, as she pursues her other directing and script development work in the industry. She will continue to take an active interest in MGP and we are sure we will work with her again in the near future. All of us thank her for her incredible contribution to MGP since co-founding it and wish her the very best of luck with all her future projects.
