NAOMI HARVEY

I am an Executive Producer and the founder of Golden Possum Productions, with over 20 years of experience developing and producing Award winning, impactful, emotionally-driven content across documentary, drama, and audio.

 

My work spans major platforms and networks including the BBC, Channel 4, Netflix, ITV, Discovery, National Geographic, Warner Bros, Lionsgate, and IHeartMedia.

 

As an Executive Producer, I specialise in true stories—working closely with contributors, rights holders, and production companies to match each project with the right creative team. I aim to  build compelling packages that give each story the strongest chance at funding and success.

 

This collaborative, international approach has allowed me to work with many of the world’s most respected producers,

writers, and directors—including Marc Smerling (The Jinx), Henry Singer (Man on Wire), Jon Weinbach (The Last Dance), Jeremy Garelick (The Hangover, The Breakup), David Permut (Hacksaw Ridge, Face Off), and Jeffrey Walker (The Clearing, Modern Family).

 

I am known for my strong ethical and comapssionate approach to storytelling and my ability to bring together the right creative talent around each story I assemble teams that blend artistic vision with social purpose.

 

My portfolio is diverse including a mix of award-winning podcasts and television series that challenge institutions, uncover hidden truths, and resonate with global audiences.

 

As well as TV Producer I am a qualified psychotherapist and mental health trainer who pushes for mentally healthy productions.

 

I founded Team Human, an industry-leading initiative that has delivered mental health training to crews fromHBO, Warner Bros, Sky, Disney, and Endemol as well as consulting on on high-end scripted projects including ArkhamforDC Comics.

​

I sat on the board to help create The Film and TV Charity's working tool kit fo rmentally Healthy productions and I deliver short courses on mental health for Screenskills.

 

Earlier in my career, I  worked on high-end scripted productions including Hot Fuzz, Dr Who, and Angel, gaining firsthand insight into large-scale storytelling and production. This has now gone full circle as I have expanded ot exploring the scripted space for true stories.

 

My senior roles at respected companies such as The BBC, Plimsoll, Keo FIlms,, Sugar Films, and Clockwork Films developing award winning factual and format-driven programming for international audiences.
