Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine joins disability-forward Making Space Media

Reese Witherspoon’s media company Hello Sunshine has partnered with Making Space Media, the film and TV producer that champions Disabled voices.

Hello Sunshine has signed a first-look deal with Making Space for unscripted content, which will “shine a light on the lived experience of the world’s largest and yet most overlooked and misrepresented community on the planet.”

According to Deadline, several projects are already in development and first projects will be announced in due course.

Making Space Media is a division of Making Space and is run by TV presenter and disability rights advocate Sophie Morgan, and entrepreneur and activist Keely Cat-Wells. 

Hello Sunshine unscripted bosses Sara Rea and Sarah Lazenby said Making Space’s mission “couldn’t be more aligned with us.” “We’re delighted to be partnering with Sophie and Keely and excited to create powerful content together that we hope will create genuine legacy and impact in the world,” they added.

Morgan and Cat-Wells called Hello Sunshine an “inspiring mission-driven company that has changed the game for representation in the entertainment industry.”

The Daisy Jones and the Six outfit produces content across most genres from the US and UK and is one of a number of Candle-backed indies including Cocomelon outfit Moonbug Entertainment and Exile Content Studio.
