Malcolm Craddock (Producer)

Malcolm's credits include the acclaimed Sharpe films starring Sean Bean, Channel 4's compelling period drama The Orchid House, and, most recently, the award-winning A Life
for A Life
, the true story of Stefan Kiszko, starring Olympia Dukakis.

Malcolm formed Picture Palace 25 years ago. The company is now one of the longest-running
independent production companies in the UK and has built up an enviable track record for
producing high quality television drama and tough, original documentaries.

Malcolm's early television work includes two series of the Channel 4 sitcom Tandoori Nights,
and three English episodes of Channel 4's multi-part co-production Eurocops. In 1986, he
won the Gold Award for Drama at the New York International Festival of Film and Television for
the Channel 4 series Four Minutes.

That same year, his feature film Ping Pong, the first British film to be shot on location in
London's Chinatown, was selected for the Venice Film Festival.

The 14 Sharpe films were produced with Celtic Films for a total budget of £28 million, and have sold extensively around the world. Individual films have received BAFTA nominations for Best Drama Series and an RTS award for Best Photography.

Malcolm was an Open Scholar of Queen's College, Cambridge, and graduated with a
degree in Modern History.

He entered the film industry working as Guy Hamilton's assistant in The Party's Over, and
subsequently worked as Joseph Losey's assistant on Accident.

He spent several years directing commercials before moving into film and television production.
