Trying Season 4

Co-Producer

“Maria is a total joy to work with. She has a meticulous attention to detail and an expansive knowledge on the production side of television that has been invaluable within our pre-production and shoot process. She has a brilliant eye for pre-empting any possible hurdles we might bump into and putting in supportive infrastructure to prevent them happening at an early stage. As a director, I feel very supported and considered by Maria and that she respects and gives me space to work creatively. However, she also is very clear with boundaries and managing expectations during the creative phase so we have been able to adjust the vision to adapt to budget/time constraints in a way that still feels like I have the space for creative integrity. She is a great energy, a kind collaborator and someone who is truly passionate about her work, always giving her best to what she does. I would highly recommend working with her.”
