About

Acclaimed for work of exceptional quality, Green Bay is one of Britain's leading television production companies and is set for significant further growth in UK and international markets after securing a £500,000 venture capital investment.

Green Bay's current slate includes work for UK and international broadcasters BBC, History and National Geographic and ambitious series like Rivers and Life, six hours of high-def international TV funded by S4C, France 5 and the Wales Creative IP Fund, showing how the Amazon, Nile, Rhine, Mississippi, Ganges and Yangtze shape the lives of those who live on their banks. Locations include China's Three Gorges Dam.

Green Bay's very first programme, Do Not Go Gentle, celebrating Dylan Thomas' great poem, reached the 'Olympics of TV', nominated for the 2002 Banff Rockies alongside blue-chip series Band of Brothers and Blue Planet.

Green Bay produces network and international history series with big name presenters Huw Edwards and Bettany Hughes; observational series on the world about us; definitive profiles of world leaders in architecture, business, ecology, science and theology; arts films about key British and European figures; performance specials in classical and sacred music; cutting-edge science for the international market; and period and contemporary drama.

Small Country, Green Bay's first cinema feature, scripted by Stan Barstow, one of the greats of the British screen, premiered internationally in New York in 2007.

Prophetically, Green Bay produced biographies of both Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) and Rowan Williams (now Archbishop of Canterbury) before their election to their current roles. Filmed with exclusive, intimate access in the run-up to his appointment, Green Bay's portrait of Dr. Williams broke stories about his views on the church and homosexuality which made headlines around the world.

Green Bay's Gêm y Ganrif (Game of the Century) scooped the top prize at the 2006 Celtic Film and Television Festival, the Spirit of the Festival Gold Torc. Using stunning CGI technology, the drama-doc recreates Wales' epic win over the 1905 All Blacks.

In 2004, Wales's First Minister, Rt. Hon. Rhodri Morgan, officially opened Green Bay's production centre, the Talbot Studios. In 2005, Channel 4 made a six-figure investment to enable Green Bay to develop an expertise in cutting-edge science. S4C followed suit, awarding Green Bay a major factual development contract.

Green Bay's founders and creative directors Phil George and John Geraint share a wealth of experience in international programming. Award-winning executive producers, both headed BBC output departments, leading 400 programme makers with budgets of £70 million pa. Credits include international co-productions Prohibition (BBC/A&E); Michael Ignatieff's Blood and Belonging; the Oscar-nominated Canterbury Tales; and The Miracle Maker, a cinema feature networked on US television.

They are joined on Green Bay's Board by Paul Corley, who was responsible for a string of popular peak-time hits as controller of factual programmes for ITV.
