Since 1998, Little Minx has championed the careers of outstanding filmmakers who innovate with both creativity and intelligence. As a certified woman-owned production company, we have embraced diversity in our roster, crews, and staff for 27 years. This philosophy of inclusion is more than our mantra—it’s our mission. It’s the reason the company was founded, and it remains the most essential part of everything we do.
Little Minx has been named a Standout Company on Ad Age’s A List in 2022 and 2024, and Founder Rhea Scott was named as a Leading Women in Ad Age in 2023.
Cuba Tornado Scott never met a hyphen she couldn’t wear. By sixteen—while modeling for Mario Testino, Michel Comte, Patrick Demarchelier, Fabien Baron, and Bruce Weber—she was already an accomplished illustrator and competitive show-jumper. Her appetite for visual experimentation crystallized in Under the Influence of Bacon, a self-portrait series that rebuilt Francis Bacon canvases with makeup, lighting, and hand-built sets; shot by Malik Hassan Sayeed, the images ran in Chaos SixtyNine beside her own illustrations.
Film followed. Her whimsical short 9½ for Fairmont Hotels premiered at TIFF in 2018, opening the door to second-unit DP and still-photography work for Luca Guadagnino and Malik Hassan Sayeed. She has since directed and shot documentaries for Gladiator, The Last Duel, House of Gucci, and the forthcoming film The Dog Stars.
Somewhere between all this she’s cooked under Argentine master Francis Mallmann in Patagonia— just one piece of proof she thrives where disciplines overlap. Cuba weaves fine art, fashion and cinema into one restless practice, always hunting for the next medium to bend to her vision.
