SOME CURRENT PROJECTS
BBC One Show
Working on multiple short films for three series of BBC's The One Show since 2022. Filmed on and off the Isle of Wight, the stories are small in scale but universal in appeal and have to pack their punch into a tight space. Diverse subjects covered include a Dementia Choir in South Wales, Cirque du Soleil in London, Surfing in Cornwall, Wildlife rescues across the country and a Veteran's Hotel on the Isle of Wight.
Rumpy Pumpy!
This original stage musical, written and composed by Barbara Jane Mackie, has already had success on the stage. It is based on a true story of two elderly members of the Hampshire Women’s Institute who went on a worldwide search to find the perfect brothel. "Rumpy Pumpy! is a charming and very English comedy of manners with a good social conscience at its heart". Now a completed and commissioned feature film script looking for partners.
People Media UK was set up by Tony Steyger and Barbara Jane Mackie in 2021 based on the Isle of Wight.
Tony has a distinguished career as a producer and director, was co-founder of Maverick Television, produced Video Diaries and Teenage Diaries at the BBC and has taught film and television production in Higher Education.
Barbara developed Dangerfield, Dalziel & Pascoe and Bad Company at BBC Drama Birmingham, wrote the The Last Chance Mommas and Cowboy Girls, the musical Rumpy Pumpy! and the novel Eat The View.
