Daniel Glynn is leaving Ad Hoc Films, a company he co-founded, to pursue opportunities as an independent creative, developing a slate of premium factual projects as well as a digital and video podcast venture.
Ad Hoc was set up by Glynn and Mat Hodgson in 2005, producing factual content for a broad range of clients, including Sky, BBC, Amazon, NBCUniversal, and ITV. Glynn’s credits include Lionesses: How Football Came Home and Mission to Burnley.
Glynn is currently developing a slate of feature doc and premium factual series across sports, culture, and the arts. He is also building a new venture in the digital and video podcast space.
“Twenty years building Ad Hoc from the ground up has given me a clear understanding of what it actually takes to get ambitious projects made— creatively, commercially, and internationally,” said Glynn. “Premium factual is as complex and challenging as it has ever been. Risk appetites may be low, but in my experience, that’s rarely the real obstacle—what it actually means is that every project must be nurtured, thoroughly developed, and presented at its absolute best before it ever reaches a backer. The fundamentals haven’t changed: audiences remain hungry for character-driven, cinematic storytelling, and there will always be a premium on incredible access and compelling talent. Navigating the gap between that creative ambition and what streamers, broadcasters, and digital platforms will actually commit to has never required more skill or experience. That’s exactly the space I want to operate in—working with the right collaborators at the right stage to unlock stories that genuinely have something to say and get them to screen. The projects are already in motion—and the conversations I’m most excited about are just beginning.”
Hodgson continues to lead Ad Hoc Films.
