About Me
Bridget Ellis-Pegler
I'm mum to 2 daughters, partner to a magnificent Belgian, and host-mum to teenage boys from various parts of Asia. I'm also the owner of a dog who is the living incarnation of Hairy Maclary.
​
I love my private and magical 5 a.m. starts, creating things, eating, laughing, musing on the complex factors driving human behaviour, words, everything miniature from stop-motion to dioramas, plunging into surf, my beautiful friends and family...
I am the sum total of a lifetime of extreme travel, 20+ years in the screen industry, huge marketing experience, a passion for writing and an abundance of love; both given and received.
Lucky me, eh!
Never a dull moment
My career has put me into some mighty colourful situations. I've:
​
-
had a 2.5m snake around my neck, with a look on its face I could only describe as 'interested';
-
run a strategy meeting in a boat perched on top of a skyscraper in Singapore;
-
been to the world's penultimate video game developers' conference and out-geeked myself;
-
pitched to Disney, Netflix, the BBC etc;
-
interviewed women in Edinburgh about tampons (never laughed so hard in my life);
-
travelled backwards at speed down a steep street in San Francisco when the cable car's brakes failed (wasn't laughing then);
-
explored the jungle in Indonesia appraising it for filming a kids' series;
-
eaten outrageously decadent doughnuts during a breakfast meeting in - where else - America;
-
had my passport buried in a garden by kids in Germany and confiscated by police in Hungary.
​
All in the name of work.
