Film Producer
Gabrielle Tana is one of the most respected independent producers in the U.K. Her consistent eye for quality and top-notch talent has yielded critical acclaim and awards for titles such as “The Duchess,” “Philomena,” “The White Crow” and “The Dig.”
In 2021, she joined forces with Troy Lum and Andrew Mason to found production company Brouhaha Entertainment, an alliance of three pioneering independent producers based in two hemispheres, that traverses genre and convention with its diverse film and television slate.
The company’s most recent completed productions include Karim Aïnouz’s feature films “Motel Destino,” an erotic thriller premiering at Cannes this year, and “Firebrand,” a revisionist Tudor thriller about Katherine Parr starring Alicia Vikander and Jude Law; as well as “Boy Swallows Universe,” a series produced for Netflix, based on Trent Dalton’s best-selling novel.
Through her own company, Magnolia Mae Films, Ms. Tana also produced the Oscar-nominated “Philomena” and “The Invisible Woman.” Other Magnolia Mae productions include “Dancer,” a feature-length documentary about the young ballet star Sergei Polunin; “Coriolanus,” starring Gerard Butler, Ralph Fiennes, and Vanessa Redgrave and directed by Fiennes; and the Academy Award-winning “The Duchess,” starring Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes and directed by Saul Dibb.
