These companies will gain access to 4Producers’ networking events, development workshops and funds to help towards development of programme ideas.

They will also benefit from regular access to head of Indie Relations, Rebecca Thompson. Launched in 2020, the Emerging Indie Fund was specifically developed to help nurture up and coming indies, widen their networks and relationships and help them move on to the next level of their development.

Osprey Television is run by managing directors Hayley Jones and Chris Wood who have both worked extensively in prime time broadcast and digital experience in all genres.
