Five projects from Stern & Wild filmmakers in the running for this year’s RTS Programme Awards
We are thrilled to report that five projects from Stern & Wild filmmakers have been shortlisted for the 2026 RTS Programme Awards. Congratulations to Adnan Ahmed, Jenny Ash, John Hodgson, Alex Thomas and Toby Trackman.
Two very different but equally compelling feature-length client projects are nominated in the Arts category: THE LAST MUSICIAN OF AUSCHWITZ (Two Rivers Media in association with Access for BBC) directed by Toby Trackman and THE TROUBLE WITH MR DOODLE (acme in association with Lightbox for Channel 4) for which Adnan Ahmed shot the master interviews.
One of the most impactful productions of 2025, the three-part series BIBAA & NICOLE: MURDER IN THE PARK (True Vision TV for Sky Documentaries) is shortlisted in the Documentary Series category. Alex Thomas is Series Director.
Shortlisted in the History category is the acclaimed feature documentary FLIGHT 149: HOSTAGE OF WAR (Drum Studios for Sky Documentaries) which was originated, written and directed by Jenny Ash.
Our final client project nomination is for comedian and presenter Romesh Ranganathan who is shortlisted twice for this year’s best Entertainment Performance prize, one of which is for the joyous travelogue series ROMESH: CAN’T KNOCK THE HUSTLE (Ranga Bee Productions for Sky Max). John Hodgson is Series Producer.
Best of luck to all our talented filmmakers, all the shortlisted projects and the fantastic teams who made them. Winners will be announced at the Awards ceremony on 24 March 2026 at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel in London. For a full list of nominees, click here.
