Producing

I focus on production and television management. I have almost 20 years of experience in the industry. I am used to working in an international team and on an international level, both in the Czech Republic and abroad.

Currently I am a producer for the strongest Czech TV group – Nova, where I am responsible for the development and production of a fiction series.

I have produced a number of successful primetime TV shows – original crime series, long running musical series (Glee style), the most popular Czech sitcom ever or Czech version of legendary quiz show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” I have also produced live TV ceremonies, music magazines and a number of short Czech and foreign films.

In 2014 and 2015, I was based in Romania, where I was in charge of local production within PRO TV, which is part of the multinational media company CME and is local the number one TV company.

At Dawson Productions, I held the position of Head of Development and was in charge of the running of the development department, with a focus on feature films and international co-productions. Beside that, I worked in Dawson on commercials with big budget international service productions.

I am proud, that I could be involved in the launch of MeetFactory, an international cultural centre, where I served as Director.

I also devote my time to educational projects. In the past, I have been in charge of the non-profit To Vote is Sexy campaign and I am actively involved in projects promoting gender equality awareness.

I also have experience in festival production: I co-organised FAMUfest, Prague Fashion Week and for several years I worked in the production of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival – A listed film festival.

Writing

I am an occasional publicist. I like writing about film, television, traveling and feminist issues. My articles have been published in variety of Czech medias including Czech Radio. During my studies I worked as an editor in teenage BravoGirl! magazine.
