Yes it’s true, there’s a new chicken in the coop, producing a dazzling quality of egg. Hannah Robinson joins Muckle Hen and comes to us with a mountain of fantastic experience as a writer and director of real creativity and quality.
The movie which ignited her passion for film was the chemistry comedy THE MAN IN THE WHITE SUIT, and she has had a lifelong interest in stories which involve scientific themes. She won the American Screenwriters’ Association Grand Prize for her co-written feature FIREWORKS and was recently commissioned by Scottish Entrepreneur Shaf Rasul (of Dragon’s Den) to write POINT OF NO RETURN, a conspiracy thriller which wove in both an examination of global warming and the lifecycle and neurotropic properties of the Ergot fungi! Her work is usually comic in tone and she continues to work as a screenwriting consultant for the comedian and writer Lenny Henry. (To be honest – we are quite hoping he might make an appearance in the coop himself one day soon.) She has directed numerous short films – her half hour NIGHT SWIMMER won the Grand Prix at Vendôme Film Festival and IN THE MOOD – a comedy about a tap-dancing German spy starring Kelly Brook – was a festival hit internationally.
She has also worked as a writer and director on corporate and commercials for clients as diverse as RBS, Glasgow Caledonian University, The London Fire Brigade, Bosch, Plan International, John Menzies and Scottish Enterprise. She is hugely talented and Muckle Hen are delighted to welcome her to the fold.
However as one chicken enters the coop, so another one must leave to make room and it is with a tear in the eye (although that may just be the onions in my Panini) that we bid farewell to Creative Director Andrew Macintosh after 6 years. He is off to work in a comms role for G2G3. We wish him luck.
