Kim Warner

Head of Production

Pronouns: She/her/hi 

Kim leads the department’s work to support writers, directors and producers, and their films. She works with the CEO to shape policy, funding and training activity to support a sustainable screen sector in Wales, inspired by close partnerships with small local organisations as well as big screen companies across the world.

Kim is the former Head of Acquisitions of Mercury Media and Journeyman Pictures and set up SVOD platforms for both companies, brokering relationships with The Guardian and The Independent. Before that she worked for the Works Media and for Scala Productions. As an independent producer her credits include films such as Claude Lanzmann which was Grierson, Cinema Eye Honors, IDA and Oscar-nominated.

Kim comes from North Wales and has an MA in English Language and Literature from Oxford University and a, mostly useless, diploma in filmmaking from the International Film School of Paris. Kim is passionate about championing the weird and the ambitious; cinematic stories which no one would expect to come from Wales led by filmmakers with something to say. She aims to be a champion for working class filmmakers in particular and is passionate about improving the understanding of the intersectional way in which people are often disadvantaged in our industry.
