MEDIA

The world of media particularly film and television is a passion of mine. You could say it runs in my blood as my father Douglas worked all his life in the industry . And my daughter Sara is an award nominated film director,producer and writer. After a career in financial services I am now using this knowledge and experience in the media industry.  

My particular focus is the funding of film and television productions . Funding is difficult as media is not seen as a serious alternative to other investments given the perceived risk. I believe in the opportunity to change this, and the IEL - Investment , Enjoyment and Legacy - philosophy I developed aims to bring about change in the industry a key element being to make it more attractive to investors.

I am currently working with a highly talented group of industry professionals to bring about change to the way independent film and television productions are managed through from development to distribution to ensure both creative and commercial success.
