Catching a Killer and Football Cops indie True Vision continues to expand with the hire of its first director of development.
Frank MacDonald is the second exec to join the company in a newly-created role, following the appointment of Raw Cut’s Mark Roberts as creative director.
MacDonald moves from Universal Music Group’s production arm Mercury Studios, where he spent three years as head of development, delivering documentaries including My Life as a Rolling Stone and upcoming feature doc Metallica Saved My Life.
True Vision is keen to up its premium factual and factual drama output, building on commissions such as Channel 4’s The Push, BBC1 drama The Sixth Commandment (a co-production with Wild Mercury) and Sky’s Bibaa & Nicole: Murder in the Park, which airs this month.
Hailing True Vision’s “extraordinary team and legacy of hard-hitting films”, MacDonald said his brief Is to “expand the company’s premium factual slate and deliver high-impact stories for global audiences”.
Roberts said that with the signing of MacDonald, True Vision will deliver “extraordinary access, vivid narrative and world-class talent”.
