Bofa Productions

Adam Dawtrey first founded Bofa Productions, along with Mary Bell, in 2013, to produce Mark Cousins’ feature documentary, A Story of Children and Film, which received its World Premiere at Cannes Film Festival. Adam and Mary joined Mark Cousins and Tilda Swinton to run the 8 ½ Foundation, a project to introduce Scottish kids to world and classic cinema, before setting up Bofa Productions.

After A Story of Children and Film, Bofa Productions continued working with Mark Cousins on Mark’s debut fiction feature, Stockholm My Love and, most recently, the feature documentary, The Eyes of Orson Welles, which also premiered at Cannes and won a special commendation in the documentary competition there. Bofa also produced Antonia Bird: From Eastenders to Hollywood, by director, Susan Kemp.

Bofa is currently in post with Whispering Waves, the first-ever feature documentary entirely in Scottish Gaelic, by New Zealand director Alastair Cole. Projects in productions include Two Janes, an odyssey into her secret family history by Edinburgh-based Pakistani filmmaker Sana Bilgrami, and The Story of Looking by Mark Cousins. Adam is also acting as executive producer for Yanantin by Glasgow-based Basque director/producer Borja Alcade, about a modern family of shamans in Peru.
