As an executive
Presenting Sophie Perrins, the winner of the Edinburgh TV Festival’s Random Acts Live Pitch with her award, with Frank Skinner
I have developed and exec-produced projects for a wide range of clients including broadcasters and charities.
Work has included three years commissioning and show-running Random Acts for Channel 4, directly commissioning over 200 short films from the most exciting creative talent in the UK, and additionally curating and selecting for broadcast on Channel 4 the best of hundreds more of the strand’s Arts Council funded First Acts from 16-24 year old filmmakers, commissioned by execs at the ICA, Calling The Shots, Tyneside Cinema, Screen South and Rural Media.
As Head of Arts at Little Dot Studios I also developed and exec’d Inside Cinema, the BBC’s film brand “taking you to the heart of the movies”.
2021 included executive producing the British Independent Film Awards Livestream and developing and executive producing a new series for Art Fund hosted by Josie Long, in addition to the Museum of the Year shorts for iPlayer.
In 2022, I began to work on an occasional basis for the British Council as a senior consultant, advising principally on film festivals.
