About Best UK Images Production Ltd

Best UK Images Production Ltd was founded four years ago by Claudine Boothe and Steve Sklair. Its innovative and radical approach is dedicated to the creation of documentaries, TV drama series and feature films.

Best UK Images Production Ltd is currently in various stages of development on multiple projects. There are five television series in the pipeline, and a completed script for a six-part drama. We also have seven unique pitches that co-producers, distributors, and financiers can request. We are seeking development, production partners, distributors and funders.

BUK Images reaches out to film and television financiers and distributors interested in acquiring rights to these projects, as well as to fans of Claudine and Steve’s previous work who wish to follow their progress. We also offer opportunities to emerging filmmakers who want to refine their skills. Our target audience is diverse.

“An excellent documentary is like a good book, it always leaves you with something new to discover.
Just Never Gets Old.”
