The Glasgow-based indie production company Freedom Scripted has opened two new offices in London and Berlin.<\/p>\n
The move is made alongside new partnerships in Berlin and Lisbon. With Freedom pursuing new co-developments in Portugal and Germany, the Berlin office will focus on building international relationships based on a co-production model, working with European-based producers, talent and commissioners.<\/p>\n
Having secured investment from the Channel 4 Indie Growth Fund in 2022 and a first-look deal with All3Media International early in 2023, the company has grown over the last year.<\/p>\n
The expansion also sees the promotion of Nancy Napper Canter to head of development in London and Tessa Buchanan to development executive in the Glasgow office. Napper Canter will head up the London office, continuing to build on Freedom\u2019s relationships with commissioners and talent in the capital. With the company\u2019s HQ remaining in Glasgow, Buchanan will take the lead on local development in her new role, further expanding Freedom Scripted\u2019s slate of Scottish stories.<\/p>\n
Mike Ellen, creative director of Freedom Scripted, said, \u201cOver the past year, we\u2019ve been focusing on growing the business while taking account of significant challenges to nations and regions indies and within U.K. public-service broadcast commissioning. We will continue to support creativity and production in Scotland by being as present as possible in London, where most of the key decisions are still made. Meanwhile, having an address in Berlin has been an ambition since Freedom was founded, and we\u2019re super excited by the creative possibilities that offers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
