Happy Pebble Productions

Happy Pebble Productions, founded in February 2022, is an independent Yorkshire-based production company born from a deep-seated passion for storytelling. The company was established specifically to bring to life our inaugural project, Without Fear, Without Favour. Through this and future projects, I am committed to creating compelling, character-driven narratives

Rooted in the rich tapestry of North Yorkshire and Teesside, regions that have shaped my own narrative, I am dedicated to crafting stories that resonate with authenticity and emotional depth. My focus is on characters over 40, whose lives are often overlooked but are brimming with complexity and untold stories. These narratives are not just about the characters themselves, but about the intricate web of relationships and the environment that shapes them.

Why Happy Pebble?

The name “Happy Pebble” harks back to a childhood ritual. As a child in the 80s, my walks to school were punctuated by a peculiar habit: rescuing lone pebbles. If I saw a pebble kicked aside, I felt an irresistible urge to find it or reunite it with a family of pebbles.

 

This act of kindness, though it often made me late to class, was a small rebellion against loneliness, something I abhorred.

 

It’s this spirit of empathy and connection that underpins our storytelling ethos at Happy Pebble Productions.
