Anand Tucker

Anand studied film at Harrow before securing a much-sought after place on the BBC's Production Trainee Scheme in 1990. He made several programmes for the BBC's Music And Arts department before leaving to join Andy Paterson's Oxford Films and Television Company in 1992. There he made a series of high profile documentaries including The Vampire's Life, on novelist Anne Rice, for which he was awarded the 1996 BAFTA Huw Wheldon Award for Best Arts Programme. His drama debut came with Saint-Ex, based on the life of Little Prince author and pioneering aviator Antoine de St Exupery. The film starred Bruno Ganz and Miranda Richardson. He went on to make the multi-award winning Hilary and Jackie for which Emily Watson and Rachel Griffiths received Oscar nominations. Tucker was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Director and won the British Independent Film Award in the same category.

Alongside his producing role at Archer Street, he will shortly direct Shopgirl starring Steve Martin and Clare Danes.
