London-based indie studio Nevision has upped Anne Morrison from creative director of factual programs to CEO and creative director.

Starting in her new role today, the former BAFTA chair and BBC director will focus on future growth and strategic expansion, working closely with kids and family creative director Nigel Pickard and scripted creative director Neil Zeiger to collaborate with established and emerging talent on fresh content projects.

Morrison will also work with Nevision’s US team and partner company Nevis Productions, based in Copenhagen and Stockholm.

Prior to joining the company, Morrison spent more than 20 years at the BBC directing factual programs including Dunkirk, The Secret Policeman, The Queen’s Golden Jubilee, One Life, What Not to Wear and Top Gear. After leaving the UK pubcaster, she served as chair of BAFTA from 2014 to 2016.

At Nevision, Morrison has worked on titles including ITV’s The Missing Children, an award-winning co-production with True Vision in association with Topic in the US and Ireland’s RTÉ; Manolo: The Boy Who Made Shoes For Lizards; Pale Sister for BBC Arts; and The World’s Fattest Man: 10 Years On for ITV Documentaries.

Nevision’s kids portfolio includes content such as Floogals, a hybrid CG/live-action series for preschoolers that debuted on Sprout in 2015; and 2018’s WildWitch, a 95-minute feature film co-produced with Denmark’s Good Company. Coming up in its pipeline are feature film Glenrothan, in development with Lionsgate UK; and Goode Stuff, a new animated series co-pro for six- to 12-year-olds with ViacomCBS-owned Ananey in Israel.
