THE TEAM
CO FOUNDER
JUDITH KING
After graduating from Trinity College Dublin in 2005, Judith moved to London to take an MA at Goldsmiths College, and began her career as Development Assistant in super-indie RDF, before working her way up through the ranks in factual companies including the BBC, Wall to Wall and Studio Lambert, where she was a Development Producer for two and a half years.
She combined her factual career with pursuing her passion for drama: script researching for drama companies including Company and Kudos, and writing with Tinderbox Theatre Company. In 2011 she made the leap from factual to drama, becoming Head of Development at Northern Irish drama indie Big Fish Films, producers of BAFTA award winning Five Minutes Of Heaven. In 2013 she returned to London to work as Development Executive at Red Planet Pictures, where she was promoted to Head Of Development in 2014.
