In early 2017, Gemma established her own company, Gemma Sykes Casting. She's thrilled to have been part of a diverse range of productions since then, from large scale TV series, including Alex Garland’s FX series DEVS, and studio films, such as New Regency’s His House, directed by the very talented BAFTA award winning Remi Weekes, to indie features including the successful recent Netflix horror Choose or Die starring Asa Butterfield, Eddie Marsan and Iola Evans.
