I am a producer and business developer working in film, high-end television and entertainment ventures, across Portugal, Spain and the UK. I take ambitious projects from idea to delivery — and build the commercial relationships, systems and teams that get them there.
Most of what goes wrong on an ambitious project is not the creative. It is that somebody does not know what changed, or when, or who owns it now. I work on that half — the schedule, the commercial terms, the awkward conversation with the vendor — and when the tools cannot keep up with it, I build the ones I wish existed.
That has looked like several different jobs and it has always been the same one. Four years as the person clients rang when a delivery date was in danger, on fifty-plus international film and high-end television titles. A production company of my own before that. And now an Iberian entertainment venture being built from the market research up.
