Fiona Healy Connelly
Producer/Director
Before co-founding the Film Unit in 2007, Fiona was head of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Film and TV unit where she produced films for the FCO, central Government departments, public sector organisations and charities. Her productions have covered a wide variety of topics including current affairs, arts, culture and science, and have appealed to both international and domestic audiences. This has proved invaluable experience in targeting diverse or hard to reach audiences.
Fiona has not only worked for the BBC and some of the best independent production companies during her career, but her corporate clients have included Marks & Spencer, British Rail and Tesco. She also worked on award winning films including ‘If Only We All Played Cricket’ (IVCA Grand Prix Award Winner) and ‘AIDS: Truth or Dare’ (requested by the Johns Hopkins University to be used in perpetuity as a learning resource in their research library).

Nana Bempah
Producer
Nana gained a BSc (hons) degree in Sociology and Communications before co-founding the Film Unit in 2007. She began her career at Sky News in 2000 and went on to build television production experience on studio based youth programmes for major independent production companies. In 2002, Nana joined the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Film and TV Unit, overseeing film projects involving high profile Government ministers, including Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Miliband, and produced internationally acclaimed programmes for foreign embassies. In addition, she worked alongside HM Treasury and the Financial Services Authority (FSA) to produce and launch the anti money laundering training film, ‘Dirty Money’ which was successfully sold to financial crime, intelligence and compliance officers worldwide.
