WILLIAM PRINCE was Operations and Finance Director at Fifth Season-backed Motive Pictures helping build the operations and infrastructure from the ground up and working on projects including THE WOMAN IN THE WALL (BBC/Showtime), ONE NIGHT (Paramount+), GET MILLIE BLACK (Channel 4/HBO), and YOUNG SHERLOCK (Amazon).

William then joined Little Island Productions PATRICK MELROSE (Showtime/Sky Atlantic), WHEEL OF TIME (Amazon/Sony), as their COO and Executive Producer before setting up his own production company Level Six Films and joining forces to co-produce with Terri Dwyer of Buffalo Dragon.

William & Terri have multiple Film and TV projects in development together, including projects William has written himself. William & Terri are now actively pitching to UK and US based commissioners and raising finance for their independent film slate. As a writer himself, William knows how difficult it is to land an agent and progress in the industry, so can offer career advice suited to your individual circumstances.

TERRI DWYER has been a dynamic presence on both the big and small screen for nearly 30 years. Her deep-rooted experience in the entertainment industry made her transition into producing a natural evolution.

Her first project as a producer led to the writer receiving a prestigious Olivier Award nomination. She later produced the feature film BREAK, starring Hollywood legend Rutger Hauer in his final on-screen performance before his passing.

In September 2020, at the height of the global pandemic, Terri founded Buffalo Dragon, an independent production company. Its debut project, the psychological thriller THE STRANGER IN OUR BED, was adapted from a USA Today bestselling novel. In a remarkable 10-week turnaround from script completion to filming, the project came to life. The film premiered on Showtime in August 2022 to critical acclaim and was released in the UK by Signature Entertainment on September 5, 2022. It went on to win Best Thriller 2023 at the National Film Awards, triumphing over major studio releases.

Buffalo Dragon’s second feature, BOLAN'S SHOES, brought together an award-winning team, including BAFTA-winning actor Timothy Spall, BAFTA-nominated and BIFA-winning editor Chris Gill, and BAFTA-nominated, RTS-winning writer Ian Puleston-Davies. The film earned multiple accolades, including Best Feature Film 2024 at the National Film Awards, and was recently nominated for a BAFTA Cymru.

Beyond her work in production, Terri has continually honed her skills through competitive industry programs. In 2021, she was selected by Creative UK for the Market Trader program, an intensive six-month training course led by industry specialists. The following year, she was chosen for the highly selective Female Founders program, working under the guidance of Erica Wolfe-Murray, a renowned business and innovation expert specializing in scaling creative companies.

With a keen eye for compelling storytelling and a drive for innovation, Terri Dwyer continues to significantly impact the film industry.

Leah joined Marjacq in 2018. She looks after book to screen for the agency, as well as representing a boutique list of screenwriters working in a variety of formats and genres. Leah also works with a number of other agencies as a co-agent for their clients' adaptation rights.

Previously Leah was an agent in the film and television department at Aitken Alexander Associates, working across drama and factual programming. Leah is a graduate of the National Film and Television School's Script Development Diploma.

Zach has over 14 years' experience in digital distribution and business development, forging partnerships with all the major digital platforms and managing a library of over 1000 films. Beyond the UK, he established the international sales wing for a leading UK independent distributor, curating and nurturing a global network of prominent distributors, producers, and key buyers. Zach attends all the major international film festivals at his own expense, believing that sales agent fees should be success fees only.

Zach brings his vast amount of industry knowledge over to producing his first feature. This is with a multi award winning screen writer and is currently raising a big budget to make the film with an  A List cast.

Zach is also building a web3 streaming platform that fosters a creator to fan model ensuring transparency and allowing creators to monetise their content like never before.
