Hannah’s love of film and TV grew from an insatiable appetite for stories and a misspent youth watching too many 80s movies and consuming anything from Byker Grove to Twin Peaks. Her passion for development ignited when she joined Working Title Films - working across seminal films such as Edgar Wright’s Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. In 2006 she joined Ruby Films as Head of Development working across a number of television and award nominated movies from Saving Mr Banks to Suffragette. Hannah produces and exec produces across Fable’s eclectic film and television slate, and still likes nothing more than a Sunday afternoon watching Goonies.

BAFTA-nominated producer and writer Caroline Harvey joined Fable in 2018, bringing valuable intellectual property to the company. She is passionate about discovering new perspectives to tell familiar stories and championing diverse narratives with authentic, boundary-pushing voices. Caroline loves collaborating with filmmakers: her previous roles include Head of Development for Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack, as well as an executive position at Working Title Films.

Hannah joined Fable at its inception as Development Executive to build a brand-new slate. As Head of Development, she works with the creative team across all film and television projects. She was an Executive Producer on Mr Loverman and an Associate Producer on Rocks and Anne Boleyn.  Prior to Fable, Hannah worked as a Development Assistant at Film4 and then with the acclaimed director Yann Demange. As a freelance script and book reader she has worked for Studio Canal, Pinewood Pictures, Eleven Film and the Channel 4 Screenwriting Competition. She previously assisted producer Rosa Bosch across a range of documentaries, video art projects and on the festival launch of several feature films. She has produced drama and documentary shorts that have screened at UK festivals.

A force of nature and effortlessly supportive Head of Production, Claire is the beating heart of Fable. Born and bred in Scotland, Claire brings a rare regional authenticity and new perspective to our London-based production company. Raised by a gaffer and having a brother as a spark, she has a soft spot for electrical departments and loves all things production.  Claire’s career started in commercials in Scotland where after 12 years, she shimmed across to make her first indie film in 2012, Sunshine On Leith, with Dexter Fletcher.  From that moment onwards, the joys (and stresses) of finding creative solutions for productions, remains her focus.
