Happy International Women’s Day to all the amazing and talented women out there! 💕
Fable’s creative directors, @fayeejward and Hannah Farrell produced SUFFRAGETTE in 2015, celebrating women’s suffrage in the UK. It’s now streaming on @channel4 - a great watch this Sunday afternoon 📺
Huge thanks to everyone we worked with in 2025. We were lucky enough to bring Wild Rose: The Musical to life, and Mr Loverman received a mountain of plaudits.
We feel incredibly grateful. Even while feeling the pinch, as we all know TV & Film has been tough this year. Here’s hoping 2026 brings a little more luck, plenty of creative energy, and the chance to keep working with such wonderful people.
💕💕💕

4 years of keeping the biggest secret of my life… and it’s finally out! 🎬
Years of zoom calls all the way through lockdown, finally the patience is worth it!
A film about my journey is officially in development — directed by the incredible Ashley Walters and brought to life by Fable Pictures.
Thank you for believing in my story and this project 💛
My life really feels like a movie today 🤯✨
