People Media Productions was established in 2021 by Tony Steyger and Barbara Jane Mackie. The company supplies the BBC with short films for The One Show, as well as making documentaries for other channels and organisations. The company continues to develop screenplays and drama for broadcast and social media.

As a UK production company we specialise in warm, character-led short films that bring national themes to life through everyday people. We are known for strong access, a crafted narrative feel, and an editorial instinct for stories with emotional truth, gentle humour and a clear “moment” at their heart.

With a small senior team, trusted collaborators and a commitment to developing new talent, we continually explore new, innovative ways to tell human-centred stories that uplift, illuminate and connect.

Barbara is a screenwriter and composer, creating Dangerfield, Dalziel & Pascoe and Bad Company at BBC Birmingham. There she produced the drama Seed and has since written the stage musical Rumpy Pumpy!, the screenplay The Last Chance Mommas, the musical screenplay Cowboy Girls and the novel Eat The View.

Tony has a distinguished career as an award-winning programme maker, working at the BBC devising Video Nation and producing Video Diaries and Teenage Diaries. He co-founded Maverick Television in Birmingham where he created Trade Secrets, revived Going For A Song and made films for Comic Relief and Good Morning. He started the BBC's first New Media Programmes department and went on to help launch Big Brother.

Tony has taught Film and Television Production at HE Level, has helped with course accreditations and been an external examiner here and abroad. He continues to make documentaries and engage emerging talent.
