“Winning ‘best new talent’ at GEMA Europe was such a great way to round off the year I've had here. I really appreciated the recognition of the hard work I put in and of how much I'd grown over my time at Disney. It’s also a recognition of the amazing creative team at Disney Plus, who supported and encouraged me so much during my internship,” says Rhea Haynes, creative intern at Disney Plus, who was surprised to win this award at GEMA Europe, which was held in May in San Sebastian, Spain.
