Creative Director and TV & Film Producer with over a decade of experience across television, film, commercials, and fashion.
Recognised for collaborating with world-renowned talent, including casting director Kharmel Cochrane (Saltburn, John Wick 4), cinematographer Robbie Ryan (Poor Things, American Honey, The Favourite), editor Paul Watts (The Zone of Interest, Under the Skin), actor Samuel Adewunmi (The Last Tree, Queenie), supermodel Bella Hadid, photographer Oliver Hadlee Pearch, fashion icon Dame Zandra Lindsey Rhodes DBE RDI, and fashion legend Steven Meisel.
In 2023, Ray secured Channel 4’s Diverse Indies Fund, and was awarded the green light to develop and executive produce, three-part drama TV mini-series, BETH, starring Nicholas Pinnock and written and directed by Oscar-nominated Uzo Oleh. BETH is set to air on Channel 4 later this summer.
Driven by a passion for telling compelling stories with nuanced representation, Ray founded Common Interest Films in 2024. The indie production company has since developed a wide slate of original IP across documentary and narrative, currently in development, preproduction and post-production.
