FitzGibbon Media, DC-based progressive PR firm, has opened in London with Suzie Gilbert, who promoted and co-produced films of Oliver Stone, in charge of the outpost.
Gilbert worked on Stone's "Untold History of the US," "W" and "South of the Border." She teamed with Russell Brand on a documentary about Louisiana's Angola Prison.
Gilbert has handled delegations of American actors (Sean Penn) to South America to meet with leaders such as Brazil's Lula da Silva and Venezuela's Hugo Chavez. She also built Hollywood support for whistleblowers Julian Assange and Edward Snowden.
Trevor FitzGibbon believes London-born Gilbert's extensive networks in the UK, South America and Middle East will result in campaigns that "break out and through with audiences across the globe."
