Original drama, developed and owned in-house.
Richard writes and develops the slate himself, through his company Carnaby Creative. Close to the work, quick to talk to, and honest about where things stand.
How the work gets made.
Richard produces the way he worked as a journalist: find the story worth telling, get it right, and back it. Every project on the slate is developed in-house, with no brief to fit and no committee to get past before it's ready.
When you talk about one of these projects, you're talking to the person who developed it and can make the decision.

Richard Carnaby
Twenty-five years inside British broadcasting: reporting, presenting and producing for the BBC, ITV and Channel 5. Time enough to learn what holds an audience and what loses one, from the inside of the newsroom.
He's also a qualified solicitor and a Guildhall-trained actor, which between them mean contracts and performances are read with the same eye. Producing is where all of it comes together: the story sense of a journalist, the rights sense of a lawyer, and the instinct of someone who's been in front of the camera himself.
Carnaby Creative is broader than the screen work.
The slate is produced under Carnaby Creative, the company Richard founded and leads as its Creative Director. But it isn't only a development house. Alongside the creative work, Carnaby Creative delivers person-centred autism and ADHD training for professionals: CPD-accredited courses and workshops, developed alongside autistic people and grounded in real clinical experience.
If something here fits.
If you're a broadcaster, producer or development executive and something on the slate is a fit, or you've an idea you think fits this company, the quickest route is a direct conversation.
No pitch decks required to start. A short email about what you're looking for is enough, and it goes straight to Richard.
