THIS IS OUR ETHOS
Don't F**k with Owls
The best content is made by happy, healthy and respected people. The only challenges should be creative ones, not personal ones.
Collaboration is the key to innovation,
inclusivity is vital and sharing success is just basic decency.
We make stuff we want to watch,
with people we want to make it with,
for people we want to connect with.
It's that simple.
THIS IS US

Believing that variety is indeed the spice of life, Amy has worked on a wide range of programming, from biopics (Caroline Aherne: Queen of Comedy, Rebel Sister and Jon Snow: A Witness to History), to true crime (Beyond Reasonable Doubt, Le Masque, Locked up Abroad, and Women In Prison), music docs (AP Dhillon: First of a Kind and Jacob Collier: The Room Where it Happened), to sport series (including the Netflix global hit series, Untold: Swamp Kings and Another Way: The Forest Green Rovers Story) with a dash of specialist factual for good measure (Presidents at War, 80's Greatest, and Stephen Hawking's Universe).
Amy is excited to make Massive Owl the best place for off and on-screen talent to thrive and create content that changes the game.
