Roberts worked for almost five years at Odin’s Eye, latterly as Head Of Development and Co-Director of Acquisitions.

“I am thrilled to join both Big Safari and Creativity Capital at a time of unprecedented opportunity for international co-productions and financing,” said Tianna. “Working with two companies that champion diversity, creativity, authenticity, and collaboration aligns perfectly with my commitment to supporting diverse and globally resonant storytelling.”
Founded by industry veterans Richard Kondal and Patrick Fischer, Big Safari Productions is currently in production on All Night Wrong, a UK-Canadian co-production featuring Maria Bakalova, Zach Cherry, and Emily Hampshire, and Feed, a supernatural thriller UK-Irish co-production director by Marco van Belle.
Recent co-production highlights include Finnish/UK thriller Get Away starring Nick Frost and Lena Headey that premiered this year at Fantastic Fest; UK/Philippines alligator survival thriller The Bayou; and UK/Luxembourg/Belgium thriller Stargazer, starring Rosalind Halstead and Poppy Delevingne.
