WHO WE ARE

Black Camel Pictures is an energetic BAFTA award-winning film and television drama company based in Glasgow. Founded by Arabella Page Croft and Kieran Parker, it is one of Scotland’s leading drama production companies.

We set up the company to allow us to develop stories we feel passionately about and to allow us to collaborate and work with wonderfully talented people. From those brand new to the most experienced, what everyone on our team and productions has in common is a love of stories and the determination and creativity for making sure these stories come to life in the best way possible.

Black Camel produces Annika for UKTV & PBS MASTERPIECE, starring Nicola Walker. The series aired on Alibi in August 2021 to rave reviews and record viewership on the channel. The series has been renewed for a second season. Their BAFTA-winning children’s animation series The Brilliant World of Tom Gates (adapted from the best-selling novels by Liz Pichon, starring Catherine Tate and Mark Bonnar) premiered on Sky Kids in January 2021 and a second season was released in January 2022. They also produce the queer YA series Float for BBC iPlayer, which won Best Series in the short form competition at Series Mania 2022.

The company released three feature films in 2021: Majorca set Off the Rails starring Judi Dench, Kelly Preston and Sally Phillips, the romantic comedy Falling for Figaro, starring Danielle Macdonald and Joanna Lumley, and the psychological thriller Marionette, starring Thekla Reuten and Peter Mullan. Other credits include the UK hit musical Sunshine on Leith starring Jane Horrocks and Peter Mullan, psychological thriller Legacy starring Idris Elba, BBC drama Castles in the Sky with Eddie Izzard and Laura Fraser, the Netflix film The Rezort starring Jessica de Gouw and Dougray Scott and action horror trilogy Outpost (I,II,III) starring Ray Stevenson.

We continue to work on an exciting slate of television and film projects.
