In his 25-year career, Carey has produced and executive produced a slew of scripted dramas and comedies, with recent credits that include BBC One\u2019s adaptation of Victor Hugo\u2019s\u00a0<em>Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/em>, BBC One\u2019s psychological thriller <em>Apple Tree Yard<\/em>, the Abi Morgan-penned series <em>River<\/em> and Channel 4\u2019s miniseries\u00a0<em>Run<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>At Dancing Ledge, Carey will work alongside CEO Laurence Bowen (<em>The Eichmann Show<\/em>, <em>Delhi Crime<\/em>, <em>Suburban Shootout<\/em>) to oversee the company\u2019s growth. Dancing Ledge Productions works internationally with Fremantle, which has a minority stake in the company, with Fremantle handling international distribution for both drama series.<\/p>\n<p>Carey said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to be partnering with Laurence and the team at Dancing Ledge. High-end drama is a deeply challenging and competitive environment, now more than ever in these exceptional times, and it makes it so much more worthwhile when you\u2019re in a team of likeminded souls sharing common values. We\u2019re still at a very early stage in the Dancing Ledge story but Laurence and I are confident that both\u00a0<em>The Salisbury Poisonings\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>The Responder\u00a0<\/em>will be a good indication of what lies ahead. We\u2019re working with some outstanding\u00a0talent and\u00a0have a terrific diverse development slate. We\u2019re very excited about the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bowen\u00a0added: \u201cChris\u2019 experience, knowledge, contacts and creative flair make him the perfect first MD of Dancing Ledge. He\u2019s had huge success in the industry before and since joining Dancing Ledge and with him in a leadership position, the company can grow its reputation as a producer of memorable, bold drama and a champion of new talent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dancing Ledge Productions has promoted Chris Carey to the post of managing director.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":12949,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1393],"class_list":["post-12948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-dancing-ledge-productions","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
