She executive produced the Oscar-nominated Mrs Brown, before moving to the role of Head of Production at Pathé Pictures. She co-founded Slate Films in 2000, and her latest project has seen her Bafta and Oscar-nominated for her role as Producer on Film4’s The Last King of Scotland.

Peter Kosminsky
Peter has directed some of the biggest names in
Hollywood – including Michelle Pfeiffer and Renee Zellweger in White Oleander – but his TV dramas have drawn the most praise.
