My name is Brian Hanford, an American-born writer and development producer living in England. I have worked in entertainment for over 15 years in the UK and in Los Angeles, filling a myriad of roles in both scripted and unscripted TV as well as feature film. My passion is in creating for TV, writing and developing series from ideation through to production and have a proven track record of success in reality and narrative fields.

I can offer a wealth of knowledge for any network or production company with my versatile background working on both sides of the Atlantic. Having experience with some of the biggest networks in the US market (Disney, ABC, NBC, Fox) as well as the UK, I feel I can pull from a deep wealth of experience. I have a fantastic grasp of what works in both places, how to translate the success of a show from one region to another, and a genuine love and knowledge of the TV industry in both locations.

My drive, dedication and skill set makes me a versatile asset to any production and I would bring a collaborative, confident voice into the development room.
