The Story Collective bolster its production team with new senior hires

The Story Collective is augmenting its central team with two new key appointments, Elouise West joins as Head of Commercial, Legal and Business Affairs and Ceci Mazzarella signs on as Head of Development. The new hires arrive as the production team continues on its first scripted project, the Disney+ commissioned "A Thousand Blows" (w/t), created by Steven Knight (“Peaky Blinders”), with a stellar cast that includes Stephen Graham (“The Virtues”), Malachi Kirby (“Small Axe”), Erin Doherty (“The Crown”), Francis Lovehall (“His Dark Materials”) and James Nelson-Joyce (“The Gold”).

Former New Pictures, Elouise West will be responsible for overseeing business affairs on all company productions as well as the shows being produced within the company’s investment portfolio.

Ex See-Saw Films, Ceci Mazzarella will work closely with The Story Collective’s executive producer Kate Lewis to develop a slate of bold writer-driven TV projects that combine attitude with emotion; propulsive, entertaining shows that offer an incisive view on the world we live in.

CEO, Damian Keogh said: “As production continues on 'A Thousand Blows' and our development slate grows within our investment portfolio, we feel very lucky that Elouise and Ceci have agreed to join us. Both are highly talented in their fields and, most importantly as we build our ethos, extremely kind, patient, fun and collaborative.”
