#136: Moss Barclay, Executive Producer for TV at See-Saw Films

This week’s guest is Moss Barclay, an Executive Producer for TV at See-Saw Films, whose shows include SLOW HORSES  and THE ESSEX SERPENT on Apple TV+, HEARTSTOPPER on Netflix and THE NORTH WATER on BBC iPlayer.

Moss started her career working for filmmaker Paul Greengrass before co-founding new-writing theatre festival, HighTide. She was also an intern at Working Title and went on to hold positions at Big Talk Pictures and Sixteen Films before spending 10 years at Pulse Films, where she led the company’s expansion into scripted film and TV, developing GANGS OF LONDON for Sky AMC. 

We talk about how Paul Greengrass introduced her to the film industry, her love of stories and reading and how that led her towards development, demystifying what it means to be a Head of Development, her time at Pulse Films and how she helped to redefine what Pulse did or could do, and her shift towards television, and what authored TV looks like, as well as her work at See-Saw Films.
