Jo McGrath, chief creative officer at Eagle Eye Drama, said: “Our 100 percent success rate for winning re-commissions on all our new dramas has meant the Eagle Eye slate has grown very rapidly. Carolina is a brilliant team player, a superb director with a visual eye and strong editorial instincts. She has an enviable contacts book, a talent for assembling the very best teams and, above all, is great fun to work with. She’s already part of the Eagle Eye family, and this new role reflects just how much we value her.”
