Céin McGillicuddy & Andy Kinnear

Andy and Céin are the critically acclaimed co-writers and creators behind the cult BBC comedy series TOP COPPERS and the popular BBC true-crime spoof SEXY MURDER. Originally meeting at the renowned Bournemouth University Media School, Céin has gone on to become a sought-after director and Andy an accomplished editor in their own rights. This gives them a rare partnership in that they author their projects in a Coen Brothers-esque relationship as co-writers, director and editor respectively, enriching their productions with a devoted attention to detail at every stage. They are now taking their work into more dramatic realms, having recently completed a mini-pilot for Channel 4 of their dark, crime thriller comedy LAW MAN, starring Nick Mohammed, Aimee Ffion-Edwards, Philippa Dunne and Mark Addy, alongside developing two animation projects and their first feature film.

Andrew Coppin

 Andrew is a keen runner—though whether he’s chasing fitness or just his own thoughts remain unclear. He splits his time between London and the south coast, making the most of both city life and sea air. When he’s not on stage or screen, he can often be found voluntarily plunging into freezing water, either in the sea or an ice bath, for reasons he insists are “good for him.”
