Simon Egan
Having torn himself away from the hustle bustle of the city in the ‘90s, Simon retrained as a filmmaker and has been directing since 2000, kicking off with the genre breaking Cutting Edge ‘Looking For Ricky’. He has since worked with all major UK broadcasters as a freelance documentary director/producer across a broad range of dangerous and challenging subjects around the world, developing a unique and eye-catching style that bagged him an RTS nomination for ‘The Trouble With Black Men’.
Keen to build on these achievements, Simon is overseeing several new documentary projects for Bedlam whilst developing his feature film directorial debut.

Gareth Unwin
Now an Academy Award winning Producer, Gareth has built on his years of practical experience as an AD and PM and takes the lead on Bedlam's feature film slate. Winning a BAFTA nomination, Spirit and Dinard awards with his first film Exam, Gareth has followed that with the critically-acclaimed The King's Speech, picking up the Audience Award at Toronto Film Festival, a Producers Guild of America award, seven BAFTAs, including both Outstanding British Film and Best Film, and four Academy Awards, including Best Film.
Recently returned from Poland where he was overseeing the live action animation The Flying Machine to mark the bicentennial of Chopin, Gareth will next be producing Zaytoun with Far Films, and is looking forward to commencing 'The Lady Who Went Too Far', which sees Bedlam re-unite with King's Speech writer David Seidler on a fascinating tale of female heroism in the 18th century.
