The guest speakers are:-
Eric Coulter
Eric Coulter has worked in the television and film business since the early 1980s. His first role was as unit runner on Bill Forsyth’s Gregory’s Girl. He worked on dozens of films, commercials and music videos as a location manager and assistant director before moving to a Producer role in the mid 1990s, with The Cops. This landmark show for World Productions/BBC2 won BAFTAs for Best Drama series in 1998 and 1999.
Eric then joined STV as Head of Drama, where he was responsible for the successful overhaul of Taggart, leading to its biggest ever commission in 2008. There, Eric oversaw all development and production including Taggart, Rebus (with Ken Stott), Missing (with Gregor Fisher), Goodbye Mr Chips (with Martin Clunes), High Times (winner BAFTA Scotland Best Drama) and Cracked (Mind Media Awards Best Drama 2009). Eric left STV in the summer of 2009 and then worked as consulting Executive Producer on BBC Scotland’s River City before founding SurefireTV in 2010.
Kate Croft
Kate is Head of Drama for Shed Media Scotland in addition to running KoCo Drama, the new bespoke drama brand set up by Shed Media.
Kate Croft developed and produced Murderland by David Pirie starring Robbie Coltrane, for ITV in 2009. Prior to that she script edited and produced Coming Up the emerging talent strand for Channel 4.
As a script editor her credits include Fallen Angel by Peter Ransley for ITV starring Charles Dance, and Messiah by Lizzie Mickery for BBC1. Kate’s first job in the industry was at Scala Productions working on feature film Divorcing Jack in Northern Ireland.
