Jessica is Director of Production and Executive Producer for HTM Television and Hat Trick Productions.
 
She started her career in casting, and then moved up through production in a variety of genres for independent companies, the BBC and ITV.
 
She first worked at Hat Trick as a freelancer in 1997, joining as Joint Head of Production in 2004 where she and Laura Djanogly were pioneers of job-sharing at a senior level in the television industry.

Rhys is a Development Producer at HTM, working across the company’s slate of original drama and developing projects from initial concept through to treatment and script.

He began his career at Kudos before joining Tin Star Series 2 as Assistant Script Editor, and later moved to BBC Studios, working as Script Coordinator and Assistant Script Editor on EastEnders. He subsequently completed a Master’s at London Film School, specialising in the development of film and television.

Rhys is drawn to bold, character-led stories with a strong engine - particularly action thrillers, emotionally charged drama and gripping investigative procedurals. A lifelong film and television obsessive, when he isn’t reading scripts or developing new ideas, he can usually be found on the sofa with another drama on the go.
