Summary
For years, the boundaries between execs and talent were fairly rigid. That time is over.
More and more onscreen talent are taking a greater role behind the camera, running their own production labels and taking more control of their work both creatively and commercially. Olivier and BAFTA-nominated British TV, film and theatre actor James Norton, known for his standout roles in Happy Valley, War & Peace and McMafia, among many more, teamed up with scripted executive Kitty Kaletsky to launch their own production company, Rabbit Track Pictures in 2019, with Banijay UK investing in the business in 2023. The company is behind a raft of successful projects including Netflix film Rogue Agent, ITV hit series Playing Nice and upcoming BBC series King & Conqueror.
James and his partners will discuss their journey – their motivations, discoveries and ambitions for the business going forward.
Session moderated by Stewart Clarke, SVP, Content, International at Deadline.
