Kate Faire

Production Manager 

Kate Faire has a BSc from Southampton University and took MA from King’s College, London. Her early career was as a political researcher. She then became a parliamentary lobbyist at Westminster, acting as a director of a public affairs company. This required client handling and account management in both the public and private sectors; vital experience which has provided a firm foundation for her current role as Production Manager for Gig House Films.

She has worked on Gig House’s broadcast work for ITV and Sky (Incomers, Life on the Line and Double Murder) as well as on its narrowcast work for clients including the NHS, the United Nations, the Advertising Association. This has involved setting up film locations across the world - Canada, South Africa, Malaysia, Singapore, Ukraine and Austria.

Kate organizes all aspects of filming, pre-production and post-production. She is responsible for negotiating permissions to film from individuals and organizations; for ensuring risk assessments are completed; and arranging all travel, scheduling and itineraries.

Most importantly, Kate is the first point of contact for anyone involved in any aspect of the films we make. She liaises with participants, to ensure all arrangements are in place for film shoots – location, risks and requirements. Finally, Kate is our main contact with our clients. She keeps them abreast of everything from the details of a shoot to progress on and final delivery of their film.
