BUSINESS AFFAIRS
Will takes care of the business affairs, day to day finances, and anything else in between in the London development office. An Alleycat since 2011 and recent graduate of the NFTS in Production Accounting, he has worked on all of Alleycats’ output to date, and in between tax credits and trips to Kyrgyzstan, is slowly learning French in his spare time.
HEAD OF PRODUCTION
Judy oversees the management of all Alleycats productions. With over 10 years advertising experience, and having worked on everything from feature films, to US entertainment series like The Batchelorette Judy came to Alleycats almost 5 years ago with a wealth of production knowledge. Having PM'd our epic ad funded campaign Helluva Tour, which took 4 strangers and crew half way around the world, and our Doc Feature How to Defuse a Bomb she now is highly skilled in international production and is known as the Carnet Queen of Alleycats.

Most recently he has completed work on People's Painters(BBCNI), The Borrowers (RTE) and Real Life Superheroes (BBC Our Lives / BBCNI). When not in an edit he can be found in the dark corners of his garage trying to create the perfect beer. Unsuccessfully thus far.

RESEARCHER
Duana joined Alleycats in Spring 2018 as a production trainee before rapidly progressing to Researcher. Since joining she has worked on everything from archaeology, art and history, to cosplay and credit unions. When she isn't working on the various projects at Alleycats, she's doing a bit of her own research to discover new films and TV programmes to obsess over.
POST PRODUCTION ASSISTANT
Gemma works in the post production side of things at Alleycats. After 3 years working with edits, IT and paperwork in Dublin she came home to join the cats. At times one of her most used phrases is “have you tried turning it off and on again?”
When she can’t be found staring at a screen she probably has her nose in some reading material, or at the nearest comic con…

RESEARCHER
Leana is happy to get stuck into various stages of the production process, from research in development to post-production paperwork, but her strengths lie in writing.
