Rise Films, the UK producer behind ITV2 Roman comedy Plebs, is bolstering its senior ranks by hiring executives from prodcos Betty and 7 Wonder.
Kate Morey comes in as head of popular factual while Steve Condie has been named as executive producer in a wide-ranging factual role.
Morey joins from Discovery-owned UK prodco Betty [1], where she was an executive producer developing and making programmes for Channel 4, BBC1, ITV and Discovery.
She has helped shape programmes including the Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners brand, the OCC spin-offs, First Dates and Jews at Ten. Before joining Betty, Morey was a director for 10 years and worked at indies including Shine, Dragonfly, Love, Ricochet and Maverick.
Condie was previously head of specialist factual at London-based prodco 7 Wonder [2] and was executive producer on shows including ITV’s Billy Connolly’s Tracks Across America, BBC3 documentary Obesity the Post Mortem and online TV series People’s History of Pop.
Prior to 7 Wonder, Condie was at Oxford Scientific Films where he looked after a number of high-end history, arts and documentary series for the BBC and Channel 4
“I’m so excited to welcome Kate and Steve to Rise. They are both outstanding and highly creative executives with real flare who, throughout their careers, have done things a little differently, making them a perfect fit for Rise,” said Rise MD Teddy Leifer.
”Both Kate and Steve have great range and, culturally, that’s important at Rise – as we continue to grow a dynamic, multi-genre production business in the UK and US.”
London-based Rise is recruiting a chief operating officer and a permanent head of production and is bolstering its development team. Sam Leifer, co-creator, writer and director of Plebs continues to head Rise’s comedy department.
In related news, Megan Davis has been promoted to development producer, working across documentaries and specialist Factual and Guy Horlock has joined the full-time staff as production assistant.
