Francesca Walker

Production Manager

With a background in psychology, anthropology, and an early detour through drama school, my path into production was anything but linear - but it shaped my instinct for stories, people, and process.

Now, as an accomplished Production Manager and Junior Producer, I bring extensive experience across all forms of media. Having started as front-of-house I’ve worked across every stage of production - from pitch decks to post, from bidding to wrapping - earning a reputation for being thorough, calm under pressure, and solutions-focused.

To me, production is the perfect intersection of creativity and strategic thinking. Beyond technical expertise, I’m passionate about mentoring junior crew, have built lasting relationships with world-renowned directors, and can lead teams of all sizes and temperaments with ease.

Whether it’s a 30-second commercial or a four-hour slow TV spot for Audi (true story), I lead with creativity, clarity, and good humour.
