She and Lisa Zwerling formed their Carpool Entertainment banner to develop series for premium cable and streaming. They have multiple projects in active development. STEPHEN GARRETT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) Stephen Garrett is an accomplished producer with an eye for pedigree material. In 2016, Garrett launched his production company, Character 7, for high-end television and film that resonates with the expanding global audience. The company has offices in Los Angeles and London. Garrett and Character 7’s first venture, “The Night Manager,” was produced in association with The Ink Factory for AMC and the BBC. The limited series garnered rave reviews and rapturous audience responses, receiving 12 Emmy® nominations, including Outstanding Limited Series, and winning two Emmy® awards for director Susanne Bier and music composer Victor Reyes. In addition, the HFPA honored Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Coleman and Hugh Laurie, who won Golden Globes® for their performances in the series. Garrett and Character 7 have an upcoming high-profile HBO limited-series, “The Undoing.” As an executive producer, Garrett is reunited with Bier, who is directing the series that was written by David E. Kelly and that stars Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant, and Donald Sutherland. Other upcoming projects from Character 7 include developing the television adaptation of Liza Klaussmann’s best-selling psychological thriller Tigers in Red Weather. Produced by Character 7’s Garrett and Head of Development Michele Wolkoff, this multifaceted thriller explores the complexity of women and the choices they make. Prior to Character 7, Garrett served as founder and executive chairman of Kudos, the U.K.’s leading independent producer of TV drama. With his business partner Jane Featherstone, Kudos’ TV drama arm galvanized British television with such popular and acclaimed series as “Broadchurch,” “Hustle,” “Life on Mars,” “The Hour” and the BAFTA® award–winning “Spooks” (“MI-5”). Garrett also led, first in partnership with Paul Webster and more recently with Ollie Madden, Kudos’ (then Shine’s) stand-alone PRODUCTION BIOGRAPHIES filmmaking entity. Under this banner, he was executive producer for a number of movies, including the Simon Beaufoy–penned Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and David Cronenberg’s Eastern Promises. He also produced Bharat Nalluri’s Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, another Beaufoy screenplay. Garrett and Featherstone sold Kudos to Elisabeth Murdoch’s Shine Group in 2006 and continued to be involved with the company until a few years ago. Prior to Kudos, Garrett was at Channel 4, where he gave “first breaks” to a wide range of writers and directors, including such now- established talents as The Full Monty director Peter Cattaneo and its writer, Oscar®-winner Simon Beaufoy. Responsible for more than 100 hours of broadcasting a year, Garrett was involved in everything from the youth drama “Teenage Health Freak,” directed by Cattaneo, to the groundbreaking late-night, love-it-or-loathe-it series “The Word.” Outside of production, Garrett and Character 7 sponsor the Verity Bargate Award for new writing at London’s groundbreaking Soho Theater. He is on the board of Scenario Two, a theater company with a new production of the musical “Light in the Piazza,” starring Renée Fleming, planned for June 2019. He has written about film and television for a range of publications, including the Financial Times, The Guardian and The Independent. In 2010, he was the News International Visiting Professor of Broadcast Media at Oxford University, where he gave a series of lectures about the intersection of creativity and commerce, and the future of storytelling. Garrett studied jurisprudence at Oxford and counts his first break as a 6-year-old extra in a Milkybar Kid commercial. STEVE CLARK-HALL (PRODUCER) From small independent productions to blockbusters, British producer Steve Clark-Hall has experienced highs and lows over a career that spans 50 years. When his career in film production began in 1988 with Jim O’Brien’s war romance The Dressmaker, Clark-Hall already had more than 20 years in television under his belt. In 1964, he joined the BBC before moving to Scotland in 1972 to set up his own production company, Siddhartha Films. The launch of Channel 4 in 1982, which effectively launched the independent production sector in the U.K., resulted in Clark-Hall moving back to London, where he made the long-running series – including magazine show – “Years Ahead.” With his partner, Mairi Bett, they renamed the company Skyline Films, which they still run today. Following a string of features in the 1990s, which included Derek Jarman’s Edward II, Mort Ransen’s Margaret’s Museum (starring Helena Bonham Carter) and Alan Rickman’s directorial debut The Winter Guest, Clark-Hall co-produced Calendar Girls. It was while working on Man to Man (2005) that the producer first began his fruitful relationship with Guy Ritchie. Following Revolver and RocknRolla, Clark-Hall co-produced Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr., and he executive produced the sequel. These two films made more than $1 billion at the global box office. He worked with Ritchie again on the 1960s spy reboot The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. PRODUCTION BIOGRAPHIES AMANDA TUDESCO (CO-PRODUCER) Amanda Tudesco is a producer, casting director and actress.

Tudesco is a graduate of Northwestern University’s Acting Program. She has appeared in various TV shows, plays, commercials and films, including the upcoming feature Ad Astra, which stars Brad Pitt.

Most recently, she was featured in Variety’s 2018 Women’s Impact Report. Skogland’s additional television credits include the premiere season of “Condor” (Audience), “The Borgias” and “Penny Dreadful” (Showtime), “Boardwalk Empire” (HBO), “The Killing,” “The Walking Dead” and “Fear the Walking Dead” (AMC), “Under the Dome” (CBS), “Vikings” (History Channel), “Power” (Starz), “The Americans” (FX), “House of Cards” and “The Punisher” (Netflix), and many more. Skogland also directed “Sons of Liberty” (History), a six-part event miniseries, for which she won the Directors Guild of Canada (DCG) award for best director of a television miniseries. As a feature film writer, director and producer, Skogland’s film Fifty Dead Men Walking, starring Sir Ben Kingsley and Jim Sturgess, premiered at a gala at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and was nominated for an additional six awards, including Best Film. It also won Best Feature Drama at the Leo Awards. Additionally, Skogland was recognized by the DCG for Best Director. Her previous film, The Stone Angel (starring Ellen Burstyn and Ellen Page) –which Skogland directed, wrote and produced – garnered nominations for Best Director and Best Film by the DGC, as well as Best Screenplay by the WGC, along with a win for Ellen Burstyn for the Genie Award for Best Actress. For her body of work, Skogland was honored at the 2015 BIRKS/TELEFILM Diamond Tribute to Women in Film.

  • Download Peter Kosminsky's Citation
    PETER KOSMINSKY My Lord and Chancellor, Peter Kosminsky is an eminent TV drama director and writer whose critically acclaimed work has for many years addressed strong social and international issues. He describes himself as ‘an old-fashioned programme maker’ for whom ‘TV is about informing as well as entertaining’. Peter read Chemistry at Oxford, and to this day the detailed research and the intellectual rigour which inform his writing owe much to his scientific background. He joined the BBC in 1980 as a general trainee, one of four graduates taken from a field of several thousand applicants. This was what he calls the ‘glory route’: television was doing new and brave things, particularly in drama, and attracted many applicants of the highest calibre. As a very political student, Peter had been inspired by Jim Allen and Ken Loach’s Days of Hope (1975); he was greatly moved by this story of the labour movement between the end of World War 1 and the General Strike in 1926, but he also saw the power of the medium and wanted to be involved. From the start of his TV career his main creative influences were Loach himself, Les Blair and other film, television and theatre directors whose work was strongly informed by social and political awareness. All Peter’s work stands in the same high-minded radical tradition. He first came to prominence in 1990 when he directed Shoot to Kill, a four-hour drama detailing the government cover-up of the Stalker Enquiry which set out to establish whether there was a ‘shoot to kill’ policy at work in Northern Ireland.

Suddenly the power goes out; no one knows why. No electricity, no gasoline. Their solar power system isn’t working. Over the following days, the radio reports a thousand theories: technical breakdowns, terrorism, disease and uncontrolled violence across the continent. Then, one day, the radio stops broadcasting. Absolute silence. Step by ominous step, everything that Nell, a would-be academic, and Eva, a hard working contemporary dancer, have come to rely on is stripped away: parental protection, information, food, safety, friends, lovers, music -- all gone. They are faced with a world where rumor is the only guide, trust is a scarce commodity, gas is king and loneliness is excruciating. To battle starvation, invasion and despair, Nell and Eva fall deeper into a primitive life that tests their endurance and bond. Ultimately, the sisters must work together to survive and learn to discover what the earth will provide.
