LILLA'S PROFILE
Lilla began working in the industry whilst still at university and spent several months at UK distributor NBDtv which is now part of the DCD Media Group.
Following graduation she moved to Australia and worked as a production Manager at Burundi Pictures in Darwin where she was responsible for co-ordinating factual, commercial and feature film shoots.
On returning to the UK she spent some time in production before joining British Pathe as Sales & Marketing Executive. During her time there she assisted the company in developing internationally saleable ideas that utilised the enormous Pathe archive.
In 1999 she was asked to take up the position of Director of TVF International, one of the UK’s leading factual distribution specialists. Whilst there she significantly grew the catalogue and team, establishing the company as a leading factual specialist.
In 2001 RDF launched its Indie Producers Fund and asked Lilla to oversee it. During her three years there she secured the exclusive representation of the Court TV catalogue as well as introducing many new indie relationships to the company.
In 2004 Channel Five created a co-production department to assist in supplementing programme budgets and invited Lilla to run it. She spent 4 years there sourcing finance for all genres and helped to finance shows such as Suburban Shootout, Tripping Over, Banged Up Abroad, Revealed & Extraordinary People.
SERVICES
Lillavision Ltd was launched in May 2008 in response to the growing demand from producers, broadcasters and distributors to source pre-sales and co-production finance for programme ideas.
More and more often ideas are being part-commissioned, leaving a deficit in the budget to be closed through alternative funding and it is the aim of Lillavision to close this gap through sourcing pre-sales & co-production deals as well as seeking finance from private and regional funds.
Lillavison also works in partnership with international and regional funds and masterschools such as Discovery Campus on a consultancy and mentor basis.
WORKSHOP
Lillavision produces workshops and sessions for industry events in the UK and internationally.
Workshops to date have focussed on Co-production, Branded Content, UK Commissioning, International Distribution & The Art of Pitching.

QUOTES
"Lilla is tremendous. Her knowledge of who's looking for what is invaluable. And her capacity at raising production money and putting copro deals together is second to none. In the last ten years there have been hundreds of fantastic shows on television that simply would not have happened without her."
Dan Chambers, MD of Blink Film & TV
"Without Lilla there would have been no Churchill’s Darkest Decision. Her commitment both to Furnace and to the project ensured that we raised all the money we needed to cover the (frankly terrifying) budget deficit. We are already looking forward to working with her on the next one."
Lucy Stylianou, Director, Production & Operations Furnace TV
"Lilla is organised, effective, highly knowledgable and a joy to work with!"
Gillian Mosely, MD of Medialab
"Lilla has helped to open up international opportunities for our clients attending MIPTV. Her expertise and contacts in this area are superb and I look forward to working with her again in the future."
Lynsey Taylor, visionandmedia.co.uk
"We are a small team and Lilla's experience and ability is just the extra boost we need to stay competitive in a very difficult market. In co-financing and finding new projects we've had some great results together."
Simon Bohrsmann, General Manager, National Geographic Channel
