AC CHAPTER ONE is a UK television and film production company launched in 2018 by Anonymous Content, Casarotto Ramsay and United Agents. Our passion is for authored work across all genres, broadcasters and platforms.

ACCO is run by Patrick Spence (Mr Bates vs The Post Office, A Spy Among Friends), alongside executive producers Sophie Gardiner (Howards End, Chimerica) and Kat Pugsley (Maternal, The A Word).

The company’s first show was Jack Thorne’s Best Interests (BBC/Fifth Season), starring Michael Sheen and Sharon Horgan, which has received universal critical acclaim and was BAFTA nominated for Best Limited Series. ACCO produced the 7-part series adaptation of bestselling author Trent Dalton’s Boy Swallows Universe for Netflix, co-produced with Anonymous Content and Brouhaha. It was nominated for more AACTA’s than any other production ever, as well as winning two Logie Awards. Coming next will be Jack Thorne’s seven-part limited series The Hack for ITV, co-produced with ITV Studios, directed by Lewis Arnold and starring David Tennant, Robert Carlyle and Toby Jones, about the Guardian investigation into phone hacking. 

On the film side is Nick Payne’s upcoming feature adaptation of the inspiring, heart-felt cookbook Breadsong, about a father’s determination to help his young, once care-free teenage daughter overcome her battle with depression through their unexpected journey baking together.
