Eagle Eye Hires Drama Director
The Couple Next Door producer Eagle Eye has hired a drama director. Carolina Giammetta, who is currently completing production on Bookish with Mark Gatiss, will develop and direct new dramas for Eagle Eye while coming aboard as EP on the growing slate. Eagle Eye was recently bought by ITV Studios and counts Channel 4’s The Couple Next Door, ITV’s Professor T and UKTV’s Hotel Portofino among its roster. It recently launched Patience, a crime drama starring Laura Fraser and Ella Maisy Purvis. “Our 100% success rate for winning re-commissions on all our new dramas has meant the Eagle Eye slate has grown very rapidly,” said Chief Creative Officer Jo McGrath. “Carolina is a brilliant team player, a superb director with a visual eye and strong editorial instincts.”
