This month, in collaboration with BAFTA Cymru, a preview of the first episode of Tree on a Hill was screened at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff before it aired on BBC Wales for the first time. After the screening, BAFTA Cymru Director, Rebecca Hardy hosted a brilliant Q&A session with director, producer, and writer Ed Thomas, costume designer Ffion Elinor, production designer Gerwyn Lloyd, and makeup designer Kate Roberts.
As we watch shows on TV, it’s easy to overlook the immense effort and artistry happening behind the scenes. This event shone a spotlight on precisely that—the talented individuals and intricate craftsmanship that bring this series to life. It was a celebration of the dedication and creativity that often go unnoticed but are essential to making Tree on a Hill the captivating experience it is
One of the main highlights of the evening was undoubtedly the model world, which was brought into the venue for guests to admire up close. This immersive display allowed attendees to fully appreciate the incredible craftsmanship behind the production, adding a unique and memorable touch to the event.
A big thanks to BAFTA Cymru for hosting this event with us, and to all who joined us in celebrating Tree on a Hill. We hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
