Tigerlily Announces Re-Branding

Independent production company Tigerlily Films has confirmed it has relaunched as Tigerlily Productions and will now refocus on TV and Content output.

As part of the rebrand by co-directors Natasha Dack Ojumu and Nikki Parrott, the company has also established three distinct production arms – TV, Content and Film.

The TV arm has a number of productions in the pipeline, including a hybrid TV/digital project entitled TEXT ME – 160 Characters for Arte France, The Lovers and the Despot for BBC and ZDF, and two paid developments with Sky Arts and CBBC. Their CBBC documentary, Mr Alzheimers and Me has recently been nominated for a factual Children's BAFTA award.

Under the Content arm, Tigerlily will produce TV news output, digital content, branding projects and radio. Recently, the company produced a segment for BBC Newsnight about the experiences of older transgender people, and A Pact of Silence, a radio drama directed by Penny Woolcock.

Film output includes two major new productions – Omer Fast's Remainder and The Ones Below, written and directed by David Farr (Troy, The Night Manager). Both are due to be released in the UK in 2016, and will now be produced out of a newly-established regional office.

The new business focus resulted from Tigerlily's involvement in Nesta's Creative Business Mentor Network, and through consultation with mentor Debbie Manners, CEO of KEO films. The company will work with KEO films on a number of upcoming joint projects including a large-scale campaign project with Lemn Sissay OBE, and will be looking to develop relationships with on-screen talent.

Commenting on the relaunch, Natasha said: "The formation of Tigerlily Productions marks an exciting moment in our company's evolution. Whilst maintaining our feature film business, we will further develop our growing slate of TV productions and other content for a range of broadcasters around the world."

Nikki added: "TV and Content have always been an important part of our portfolio but now is the right time to put it at the forefront of our business. We are looking forward to delivering a raft of new content and to pitching a host of new ideas."
