The geese in question.

Ollie Swetenham began his career at the multi-award-winning Fable Pictures, where he spent six years in development, sharpening his eye for bold, offbeat comedy and the kind of ideas that survive the long march from script to screen. During that time, he script-edited Hullraisers, Lucy Beaumont's BAFTA-nominated series and produced Comedy Playground 'Jimz Jamz School 4 Dadz' for Tatenda Shamiso. He continues as a producer on an upcoming Channel 4 series originated by Mike Rice and Ed Night.

Having worked closely with Edd during his time at Fable, it took only a modest amount of arm-twisting to convince Ollie to help set up Van Goose. He now spends his time developing and producing comedy full-time — primarily in pursuit of making people laugh, and secondarily in the hope that this continues to count as a real job.

Will Perkins is a London-based producer and National Film & Television School graduate who came up through the locations department, spending five years on sets before shifting into development. Somewhere between wrangling film crews and writing script notes, he developed a taste for comedy that's hooky, brutal, and always chasing the biggest laugh. He has produced a slate of short films that have screened internationally at BAFTA and Oscar-qualifying festivals including BFI Flare and Raindance, while finding experience in a range of production companies.

He came on to support the team at Van Goose as they build their slate, keen to be part of the change he wants to see in comedy and to help foster bold, original ideas that stay with audiences for decades.
