our mission

Fiction Factory is a small company with a big track record and a reputation for delivering innovative, award-winning television drama.

Creative Director and Executive Producer Ed Thomas leads a team of seasoned producers and up-and-coming talent.  Over the past five years alone, our remarkably effective team has produced over 100 hours of programming, including documentaries, drama-docs and over 90 hours of drama.  We have over 70 nominations and awards to our name, from BAFTA and Celtic Media Festival to the Rose D'Or Prix Europa.

Since the company was established 15 years ago we have developed and nurtured home-grown Welsh talent, and have continued our excellent relationship with them. Over the years these collaborators have included Matthew Rhys (Brothers and Sisters, The Edge of Love), Rhys Ifans (Mr Nice, Harry Potter), Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic FourHornblower), Sian Phillips, Phillip Madoc, Mark Lewis Jones, Dafydd Ieuan and Cian Ciaran from the Super Furry Animals, John Cale, Cerys Matthews and Marc Evans (My Little Eye, Collision).

Our reputation has evolved with our output, our back-catalogue includes everything from fantastical gangland escapades to unflinching, gritty police drama; from funky, urban relationship drama to a 2000 year odyssey through Europe's oldest surviving bardic tradition. We have proven ourselves to be more than capable of delivering high-quality series with huge scope.

Drama is our life-blood, our commitement to what we do and our drive to achieve the best quality in whatever we do is what gets us up in the morning.  We're always on the look-out for the next challenge, and we're constantly seeking fresh talent and new partnerships with whom to evolve the company.

Since 2002 Fiction Factory has been part of the Tinopolis Group, one of the UK's leading independent media companies, producing 2500 hours of programming annually for more than 200 broadcasters worldwide.  Other group members include award-winning sports producer Sunset & Vine, prestigious drama/drama-doc producer Daybreak Pictures and multi-faceted documentary producer Mentorn Media.
