About me
I'm an award-winning producer, (my most recent project 'Tweaks' starring Simon Callow, has just won Best Dark Comedy at NSFF and is in official competition in festivals all around the world, including BAFTA & Oscar qualifying.) I've also spent a decade at one of Europe's largest film and talent agencies, Independent Talent. I represented and worked with a fantastic roster of clients, including A-list actors, Oscar winners and household names.
After a brief stint in media strategy, I was headhunted and offered a development and production role, eventually becoming head of development at Mediente Int Films, which required putting together and developing various slates of content. This included a $48m slate of 6 intelligent thriller/horror films, a three-part TV-series based on Sherlock Holmes (reimagined as a lawyer in contemporary times), that was sold to Reliance Entertainment, a slate of 3 animations based on ancient Hindu stories, and a further 6 standalone feature films. We acquired the remake rights to a hit film, and remade it in 4 languages, which is when I reduced my role with them to be less time consuming, and then signed on as exec-producer to 4 feature films, (including The Showman that just signed Andy Serkis to direct).
I am currently working as a producer/developer or Exec on 3 feature films, and have developed and/or created a handful of TV shows. Most recently was Staged on BBC / Netflix currently, which like Tweaks, looks like it could be about to start winning awards, and Psych for Ch4 presented by Victoria Coren Mitchell.
As an agent, I spent 11 years putting together projects, partnership deals and advertisements between household names, both in terms of brands and Talent, and am quite accustomed to pitching and winning to the highest level. As a producer, I've further expanded my skills on the other side of the aisle so to speak, and enlarged my address book, and maintain excellent relationships with topflight talent, actors, writers and directors.
