BBC Studios has struck an investment and distribution deal with Bonafide Films, the producer of buzzy BBC breakout drama Mood and Peter Moffatt’s The Last Post.
The deal will see BBC Studios invest in the London-based producer’s development slate and take first look on projects for distribution. Bonafide previously had a first–look deal with Lionsgate, which was inked more than six years ago.
Bonafide, which is run by Margery Bone, is currently working on projects with the likes of Rocks’ Sarah Gavron, Wolf Hall’s Peter Straughan and Killling Eve writer / director Miranda Bowen, along with a string of new talent.
Bonafide and BBC Studios already partnered on Nicôle Lecky’s Mood and the producer-distributor brokered the co-production deal with BBC America in the U.S. while selling the show to 12 territories. The BAFTA and Rts-winning BBC Three musical drama was based on Lecky’s play...

The Emmy Awards ballot for Best Drama Directing lists 295 episodes (from 156 series), so there will eight nominees in this category for the first time, per new rules. Although this category never had a guaranteed seven slots, close votes resulted in lineups of seven nominees in six of the last 15 years, including last year:
“Game of Thrones” season 8: “The Iron Throne” (David Benioff & D.B. Weiss) “Game of Thrones” season 8: “The Last of the Starks” (David Nutter) “Game of Thrones” season 8: “The Long Night” (Miguel Sapochnik) “The Handmaid’s Tale” season 2B: “Holly” (Daina Reid) “Killing Eve” season 2: “Desperate Times” (Lisa Brühlmann) Winner — “Ozark” season 2: “Reparations” (Jason Bateman) “Succession” season 1: “Celebration” (Adam McKay)
Although Jason Bateman returned as a director on “Ozark” for its third season, he cannot repeat his win, as he is instead submitting the pilot of “The Outsider,” which is next to “Ozark” on the long ballot.

Balancing times of peace and periods of conflict is a challenge that almost all military stories face. As soldiers weigh their duty to their work and to their families, the uniform can become an all-encompassing force and few dramatized stories can exist outside its long shadow. Just this year alone, series like “The Long Road Home” and “Six” have struggled to make their characters exist as something more than stand-ins for ideas and fulfillers of narrative obligation.
But “The Last Post,” the latest co-venture between the BBC and Amazon, finds a special balance by reaching decades into the past. Charting the respective experiences of a Royal Military Police unit stationed in Aden, Yemen and the twin drama of their personal family lives, “The Last Post” considers the nature of escalation and retaliation, both within and outside the base’s walls. Drawn in part from writer Peter Moffat’s family experiences at a similar outpost,...

Some of the most claustrophobic thrillers of cinema history have taken place in sparse, unfamiliar locales. Something about being the fish out of water, the stranger living amidst things stranger still, lends itself to narratives about being victimised by your own state of mind.
Gozo, Miranda Bowen's directorial debut, endeavors to capture that feeling of crushing isolation and paranoia that comes from becoming the outsider in a place seemingly unwilling to provide the escape you desire. Lucille (Ophelia Lovibond) and Joe (Joseph Kennedy) have emigrated to the titular Gozo after Joe's ex-girlfriend - having discovered the new relationship - kills herself, but they soon realise that things aren't going to be that easy.
The couple, more in love than ever on the journey to their new home, find that their guilt and trauma from their part in the event isn't something so easily pushed aside,...
