Tara Gilmore

I'm a story producer working in documentary film, who is always up for a new challenge anywhere in the world.

I’m currently story producing an exciting new feature documentary at New Black Films (Maiden, The Last Rider)

Credits include story producing an upcoming Miami-based 3-part doc. series from Oscar-winning Box to Box Films (Amy, Senna), and the Emmy-winning Amazon/MGM feature doc. ‘Sound of 007’ from Oscar-winning Ventureland (Bobi Wine, The Rescue).

I previously spent two years as assistant to the Oscar-winning producer Joanna Natasegara (Virunga, The White Helmets), on projects inc. the development of a scripted adaptation of Virunga (written by Barry Jenkins for Netflix), and Waad Al-Kateab’s refugee Olympics doc. We Dare to Dream.

I also screen-write and work across the music video & commercial space. In 2023 & early 2024, I ran several stop-motion workshops with Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers, and am passionate about making film more accessible to diverse & marginalised groups.

Having been brought up by Buddhist parents, I’m particularly interested in Buddhist culture and the Tibetan cause; as well as (more broadly) subjects that explore the human condition, and issues around social / environmental justice & human rights.
