Big Mountain Productions celebrates success at RTS NI Awards
Production Award
Big Mountain Productions has celebrated success at the Royal Television Society Northern Ireland Awards, held at Titanic Belfast.
The Newry-based production company picked up the Best Lifestyle and Features Award for ‘Natalie Cassidy: Caring Together’, which it made for BBC Daytime and BBC Northern Ireland.
Jane Kelly, Joint CEO of Big Mountain Productions, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to have our work recognised at the RTS NI Awards.
“This was a very important, groundbreaking, and powerful series for us to make. And it’s a testament to the talent, creativity and dedication of our brilliant teams, and the amazing Natalie Cassidy, as well as the trust and collaboration of the many wonderful individuals and groups featured, key stakeholders across education and the NHS, and our broadcast partners.
“The series landed on BBC One with 2m viewers and ended up with Natalie meeting the Prime Minister at Downing Street to talk about his plans for crucial health and social care reform across the UK.”
“We’re incredibly proud of all the programmes made by Big Mountain Productions, which were nominated, and grateful to everyone who helped bring them to life.”
The company was shortlisted in two other categories for ‘Battle of the Irish Dancers’ (Factual Entertainment Format), and ‘Gradam Ceoil TG4 @ Expo 25: Dhá Oileán Cheolmhara’ (Specialist Factual).
The awards celebrate excellence in television production across Northern Ireland, recognising the creativity and talent of the region’s production industry.
