Speaker Biography
Tilly has worked within the broad field of sustainability for over 30 years. She has moved into the film and TV industry in recent years, to encourage and initiate better sustainable working practices, and is currently working full time for Severn Screen in Cardiff.
Having worked as Production Sustainability Advisor on the Netflix feature film ‘Havoc’ (Severn Screen/XYZ Films) during 2021, Tilly then coordinated a Welsh Government funded R&D project arising from the sustainability work on the production, highlighting the environmental challenges, successes and practical opportunities for the future.
As well as building sustainable practices and circular economy into all Severn Screen productions (most recently ‘Steeltown Murders’ (BBC), ‘Mudtown’ (UKTV) and ‘Mr Burton’ (BBC), Tilly and her daughter Ellie (herself a sustainability manager with her own company Earth to Action) have recently co-created and delivered Wales’ first Sustainability Coordinator training programme, funded by Media Cymru with additional support from Creative Wales and Ymddiried. All six trainees from the first cohort are now working on productions across Wales.
