Emma Bodger, Emmy award-winning director, producer, and showrunner

Producer Producer

From blank page to delivery; championing, inspiring, motivating, and working alongside my teams, I’ve produced drama for both adults and young people. Driving both aesthetics and vision, I’m confident and happy to provide notes throughout all processes from script to screen.

I pay close attention to detail at every stage, and always work within budgets and schedules. I’m skilled at both developing my own ideas and building on those from others, to push the boundaries of what’s been made before and deliver the best product possible.
