“FOR LIFE” LEAD ACTOR NICHOLAS PINNOCK LAUNCHES NEW FILM AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION COMPANY SILVER MILK AND ACQUIRES RIGHTS TO FIRST PROJECT
Los Angeles, June 22, 2020 – Nicholas Pinnock, the lead actor from the ABC hit series “For Life,” today announced the launch of Silver Milk, a new production company in partnership with his long time talent agent Oliver Slinger at Independent Talent Group, his manager Jeff Golenberg at Silver Lining Entertainment and his publicist Teal Cannaday at Bespoke Publicity. The London/L.A.-based company, repped by ICM Partners, will focus on T.V., film and documentary projects.
Building a varied roster, Silver Milk recently acquired the rights to Tell Me Your Secret by award-winning British author Dorothy Koomson in a deal struck with Rebecca Watson of Valerie Hoskins Associates acting on behalf of Antony Harwood at Antony Harwood Ltd. Tell Me Your Secret is the story of Pieta Rawlings, kidnapped by a man calling himself The Blindfolder who offered to spare her life if she kept her eyes closed for 48 hours. A decade later, she’s moved on with her life, having never told a soul about her ordeal. But now The Blindfolder is back hunting down his past victims, and she realizes she may finally have to reveal her deepest secret to stay alive. Koomson, a best-selling female novelist in the U.K., has sold over 2 million books, and her stories are beloved by readers all over the world. In 2013, Pinnock starred in the TV adaptation loosely based on another acclaimed Koomson novel, The Ice Cream Girls.
Silver Milk is also currently developing a script called Sweatbox, a vehicle chase-thriller, with producer Bennett McGhee (Mogul Mowgli and VS.). The story centers around an unlikely female duo evading both criminals and the law in order to rescue a vulnerable child. Original script written by Paul Valnay.
“We’re excited to introduce new, diverse stories that engage viewers and challenge the way they think about and perceive the world,” said Pinnock. “Silver Milk will support the works of new and established storytellers with distinct points of view; producing smart and thoughtful narratives across all platforms.”
Nicholas Pinnock’s resume spans 30 plus years and includes credits in theatre, television, and film. As previously mentioned, Pinnock can currently be seen as the lead in the ABC series, “For Life,” produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. Credits in his impressive bio include “Criminal” from Netflix, ITV’s “Marcella,” the STARZ sci-fi thriller “Counterpart,” Channel Four’s “Top Boy” and Sky’s acclaimed “Fortitude.” Film credits include “The Last Tree” and “Dark Encounter.” As a seasoned theater actor, Pinnock has graced the stage all over the United Kingdom including a production of “Born Bad” at Hampstead Theatre, “San Diego” at the Tron in Glasgow and “Topdog/Underdog” at Glasgow’s Citizens Theatre. He was most recently featured in “Ear for Eye” at the Royal Court in London. Pinnock is represented by Independent Talent Agency in London and Silver Lining Entertainment and ICM Partners in Los Angeles.
