Our commissioners
We work with production companies across the UK. Some of our commissioners are based in the nations and English regions and have an additional remit to support local companies, as well as titles that feature strong portrayal of those areas on screen. These commissioners are identified below and, where relevant, producers are encouraged to approach them in the first instance. Send us ideas via PiCoS.
