A powerhouse in British drama, Philip Dodds is the Lumo TV Drama Commissioner and a seasoned writer-producer with a track record in Hollyoaks, Emmerdale, Waterloo road and Casualty. A former Hollyoaks Series Producer and expert in longform storytelling, he’s been at the heart of the UK’s most iconic soaps.
Now, he’s on a mission to amplify deaf stories on screen —driven by both his craft and his personal connection as a father to two deaf children.
Shows I Oversee
Short films, half hours and returnable series. Historically single, one off dramas. Now looking for returnable series.
Would like to meet
I’m interested in meeting with deaf creatives and deaf led, deaf centred narratives and stories. If we’re sole funding a project then we need approx 80% of the onscreen language to be BSL but if we’re co-funding and co-producing then we can look at a more bi-lingual mix a la ‘Reunion’ and ‘Code of Silence’.
