Background

About John Pickard

As a Producer at BearJam, I juggle the logistics of exciting video projects across branded content, corporate videos, music videos, and documentaries. My journey has taken me through the full production cycle, thanks to a diverse background as a freelance writer, producer, director, and actor for companies like Brown Boy Productions, Wild Street Productions, Warner Classics, Lime Pictures, and Channel 4. Armed with a Master’s degree in Screenwriting from Goldsmiths, University of London, I’ve got the creative, analytical, and professional chops to tackle writing for both film and TV. I’ve co-created and written some cool scripted web series like Their Story Your Choice (commissioned by Terrence Higgins Trust and Comic Relief) and Grass is always Grindr (featured on YouTube, Amazon Prime, and Peccadillo). I’m a versatile Producer with a knack for both Fiction and Non-Fiction, plus a solid track record in branded content. Managing teams, handling production schedules, keeping an eye on budgets—I'm your go-to person to make it all happen. Whether it’s an international project or a local shoot, I thrive on problem-solving and making sure everything runs smoothly. I’m proficient in all the tools of the trade, from Microsoft Word and Excel to Movie Magic Budgeting and Scheduling. A self-motivated, can-do professional with a love for storytelling, I’m always focused on delivering fun, meaningful, and on-budget content that brings fresh perspectives to life.
