David Wickes is one of the UK’s leading entrepreneurial film and television producers. Best known for his lavish gothic TV movies films and elegant period drama series, David is by contrast The Guv’nor when it comes to hard-hitting action-drama, as one of the original band of guerilla filmmakers in the glory days of Euston Films.

His rare combination of creative flair as a director and writer alongside his role as producer, prompted The Hollywood Reporter to dub David a ‘triple threat’ in their tribute celebrating the 10th anniversary of David Wickes Productions.

Having trained at Granada Television, David initially directed documentaries, current affairs, live sports and music shows before finally making his directorial debut in TV drama for ITV and later for the BBC in the UK. As his reputation, budgets and viewing figures increased, David broadened his horizons by pioneering the now familiar international TV co-production with major USA networks such as ABC, CBS, TNT and HBO. Interspersed with his television career, David has also made several feature films.

David Wickes Productions are currently developing a slate of feature films – see the News section
