Joyce is tasked with driving international sales and coproduction deals across the company’s slate, with a particular focus on Asian markets. He will also support chief content officer Oli Harbottle on acquisitions.

Dogwoof said the dual remit reflects its integrated strategy across development, production, sales and distribution.

Joyce joins from London-based factual sales house TVF International, where he was senior acquisitions manager. He has more than a decade of experience in global sales and acquisitions across nonfiction programming.

In his new role, Joyce will attend the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, where three Dogwoof projects are in the official selection: Birds of War, Edward Said: Between Worlds and Time & Water.

Anna Godas, CEO of Dogwoof, said: “Sam brings exactly the breadth of experience we’re looking for at Dogwoof, combining extensive international sales expertise, particularly across Asia, with a strong background in acquisitions.

“As we expand our remit into documentary series, he will play a key role in strengthening our international sales reach while identifying and acquiring new projects.”
