Bristol-based Natural History producer Wildstar Films has tapped Doug Mackay-Hope as SVP, Development and Production. The new hire follows the recent appointments of Juli Porter as COO and staff executive producer Anwar Mamon, as the company positions itself for further growth following multiple greenlights from global streamers and broadcasters. Mackay-Hope previously served as head of Development for the BBC Natural History Unit, where during his eight years he increased the BBC Studios business through overseeing high-profile, globally successful series, including Big Blue Live, Attenborough and the Giant Dinosaur and Endangered for Discovery, alongside Blue Planet II and Seven Worlds. Before joining the BBC, he worked for indies including Icon Films and Tigress, creating the multi-award-winning Deadly 60, and helping shape River Monsters with Jeremy Wade for Discovery.
