Gaumont UK Taps Wall to Wall Exec as Creative Director

Gaumont UK has bolstered its team through the appointment of Myar Craig-Brown, who joins from Wall to Wall, as creative director.

Prior to joining Gaumont, Myar Craig-Brown was executive producer for Drama at Wall to Wall. She has worked across a myriad of dramas, including Vera, New Tricks and A Mother’s Son.

Craig-Brown reports directly to executive producer Alison Jackson (Tin Star, Ashes to Ashes, Hunted), who helms Gaumont’s UK division.

Craig-Brown said: “Gaumont is such a fantastic creative, global company, and trailblazers in scripted entertainment. Both Alison and Gaumont share in my sensibility to create world-class entertaining drama that showcases and uncovers untold stories. Having grown up in Singapore with a dual heritage, those ‘other’ or unknown stories are especially important to me. The opportunity to join the team to develop a slate of culturally rich stories that reflect different voices is incredibly exciting.”

Alison Jackson, Gaumont UK CEO and executive producer, said: “Myar is a fantastic addition to our team. She has an incredible track record of producing thought-provoking and engaging drama, and her relationships within the industry coupled with our network will help Gaumont UK continue to grow and produce exceptional drama that makes an impact. Her vision aligns with ours to champion lesser-known stories, and it’s a collaboration I’m keen to get started with.”
