Abbie Hills is a graduate of the University of Winchester and runs The Dazey Hills Company
The Dazey Hills Company is a Talent Agency and Production Company focusing on inclusivity within the film and TV industry. They represent a variety of Actors and Models in the South of England, and also represent Production Crew – They also make their own films in house.
Abbie grew up wanting to act, and she has a passion and talent for making films. Having previously worked as an actor and model she noticed how difficult it is to break into the industry for actors and creatives working and living outside of London and had always wondered why that was. She identified that there was no sort of talent management local to her, she realised that there were lots of talented people, some she knew and she didn’t, living outside of London and not being able to get local representation. Identifying a gap in the market and following her passion she decided to set up an agency herself, and The Dazey Hills Company was born.
Abbie joined the Inspiring Enterprise programme through the University of Winchester after graduating and has been working with her Inspiring Enterprise mentor to develop and grow her ideas for the company,
Abbie says of her mentorship with Inspiring Enterprise, Winchester:
“Working with Donna has been so valuable, as a creative person it can be difficult to ground your ideas and clearly identify the next step of where you want to go. Donna has helped me pull focus on my priorities as a business owner, as well as developing further as a creative”
Abbie has been using her time in lockdown to develop the company and plans to host a variety of workshops for those who wouldn’t normally have the chance to get involved in acting and filmmaking, she is also working on ways to continue to expand and develop her client base and will, of course, be making films along the way!
