A buzz has been building around the new BBC four-part thriller Ridley Road, featuring VFX by the REALTIME team and which premieres in October. The series is set in the summer of 1962, when far-right fascism was rapidly rising in London. Based on the critically acclaimed 2014 novel of the same name by author Jo Bloom, award-winning writer and actor Sarah Solemani has adapted the novel for television.
We are very pleased to announce that we have appointed Libby Behrens as Operations Director.
Libby, who has more than a decade’s experience in media production in London, LA and New Zealand, joins the team from sports app Zwift, where she managed the implementation of new production processes as Live Operations Producer. Previously, Libby was Head of Operations at LA-based Electric Theatre Collective. Her credits include Virgin Media’s animated Ussain Bolt TV Campaign and Massive Attack’s Voodoo in my Blood
She will oversee the introduction of new technology, IT, resourcing, and staff and skills development at REALTIME.
Says Libby, “I dipped out of the VFX world to experience the realm of game production but when the opportunity presented itself to come and join REALTIME, I just couldn’t resist. REALTIME has recently delved into more areas of the VFX arena, and I am really looking forward to working with the talented team on all things operations to support their massive growth.”
Tony Prosser, Managing Director of REALTIME, says “This role is very much a holistic appointment to support our team in this exciting period of growth. Libby joins us at a pivotal moment in the business to securely navigate our further expansion and help us to continue delivering innovative and quality work for our partners at a time we’re working on our biggest productions yet.”
