Miranda Peters - Director of Development

November 10, 2026 · 47 min

Show notes

For episode four of this season of The Doc Makers podcast, I’m delighted to be talking to multi award-winning Director of Development and Executive Producer, Miranda Peters.

In the show we discuss how Miranda cut her teeth at Granada Television in Manchester, becoming battle hardened in the day time tv training ground of Richard & Judy’s This morning programme. We also talk about where Miranda’s story inspirations come from, and her top tips when pitching to commissioners.

Miranda has worked for several of the top, doc making companies in the UK, and has recently taken up a position at Story Films, where we kick off this episode.
