John Farrar, whose credits include “The Imposter,” has joined U.K. producer and digital content specialist Barcroft Studios. The company has also upped two senior staffers, with Alex Morris elevated to chief creative officer and Caspar Norman to chief operating officer.
The new recruit joins Barcroft from Nerd TV, the U.K. shingle he co-founded with Jago Lee and Charlie Parsons in 2010, and which was bought by Red Arrow Studios in 2012.
At Barcroft, Farrar will be creative director. The indie has a strong track record in short and mid-form content which it plays on its own Barcroft TV, and third-party online channels and platforms, attracting hundreds of millions of views. It has also moved into long-form content and Farrar is tasked with maximizing the company’s long form output and growing the number of external commissions.
As Nerd TV’s creative director, Farrar was behind shows including “12-Year-Old Lifer” for U.
