Profile image for Samantha Blackley

Samantha Blackley

Producer, Executive

A Diploma in Broadcast Communication led Samantha Blackley to a gig with company Communicado, then a run producing youth shows Space and Squeeze. Her other career highlights include shows Coast and Moving Houses, award-winning documentary Six Angry Women, three years as Channel Manager at Sky TV’s Documentary Channel, and five seasons producing community celebration series Neighbourhood.     

As a producer, I feel it is my job to provide structure and support, and to inspire collaboration and the desire to make something the whole team is proud of. If that works, it's magic! Samantha Blackley
