Sarah was born in the United States, with a mixed British and Chinese heritage, she grew up in France before moving to the UK for further education.

While studying English at Cambridge University, she started producing and her professional career began in the theatre industry working for the Royal Shakespeare Company and Sonia Friedman Productions.

She set up Sarah Brocklehurst Productions in 2012 and produced the award-winning feature films ‘Black Pond’ (for which she was nominated for a BAFTA) and ‘Animals’, as well as acclaimed new plays at the Young Vic Theatre and the Traverse. Sarah was named a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit and a Screen Star of Tomorrow, and she received a Vision Award from the BFI.

Sarah founded Brock Media in 2022 and has been passionately building the company into a home that can champion, support and realise the vision and ambition of exceptional storytellers.

Her most recent film ‘The Outrun’ – Nora Fingscheidt’s adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s best-selling memoir starring Saoirse Ronan and Paapa Essiedu – which Sarah optioned, developed and produced, played at the Sundance, Berlin, Edinburgh and Telluride Film Festivals and had a global theatrical release in 2024. The film picked up awards with the Critics Circle and IFTAs and was nominated for nine BIFAs and two BAFTAs, including Outstanding British Film.

Sophie joined Brock Media from Silverprint Pictures where she story produced Series 13 of VERA (ITV) and script exec’d Series 12, alongside developing a diverse slate of TV projects. During the pandemic she script edited on WOLFE (Sky Max) for Abbott Vision and has previously script edited on numerous UK returning dramas. She has production credits from HOLBY CITY, EMMERDALE, CORONATION STREET, DOCTORS and EASTENDERS. She has also worked in development at Wall to Wall Drama, Endor Productions and Wildgaze Films and has freelanced for some of the UK’s biggest production companies, film organisations, producers and writers.

Sophie was an Edinburgh TV Festival One to Watch 2019 and has a Distinction from the NFTS’s Script Development Diploma. She loves warm, playful and uplifting writing with great dialogue, and scripts with a cinematic sensibility. Outside of work she loves watching fringe theatre and walking the UK coastline.

Nicole Davis is a Producer for Brock Media, working across audio and film.

Most recently she has produced a multicast audio dramatisation of PRIDE & PREJUDICE, starring Marisa Abela and Harris Dickinson for Audible, and Brock Media’s inaugural storytelling anthology podcast NEVER TOLD and is currently working alongside Sarah as an Associate Producer on an upcoming feature film project. 

Previously, she was a Talent Executive for BFI NETWORK, commissioning and exec-producing a slate of narrative short films. Elsewhere she has worked across digital, marketing and events for Film4 and BFI, and produced 130 episodes of independent podcast Best Girl Grip interviewing women working across the film and TV industries. 

Sparkle (yes, that’s her real name!) began her creative journey studying acting at Leeds Conservatoire from 2019 to 2023. During that time, she discovered a passion for writing and was Highly Commended for her script Personally, I in the New Views Writing Competition with Leeds Playhouse and the National Theatre. While she loved acting, she realised she was more drawn to helping others tell their stories rather than being in them.

After graduating, she worked as a Trainee Director for Leeds Playhouse’s research and development process on Two Tribes, written by Simon Gray and directed by Rikki Beadle-Blair. In 2024, she joined Screen Yorkshire’s Beyond Brontë scheme, which helped her navigate her place in the TV and film industry. From this program, she had the opportunity to be involved in Brock Media’s latest feature Extra Geography as a Production Runner, where she met Sarah.

Sparkle has a keen interest in stories that explore complex relationships within “taboo” topics and stories that are not afraid to have those difficult discussions. In her spare time she loves cooking up a feast, and enjoys watching a great show with a big cup of tea.

Norman has been working in the film and TV industry since 1992 and was initially trained by Assets partnership where he gained invaluable experience as a production accountant eventually working on comedy shows for Avalon TV such as Frank Skinner, Harry Hill and Time Gentlemen Please shows.

After approximately 10 years as a production accountant Norman moved into more management roles as a freelance head of finance and management accountant for countless substantial production companies and currently provides such management accounting services to the TV sector reporting to all the major broadcasters.

Norman joined Brock Media in 2025.
