In 2017 Colleen successfully pitched an idea to film portraits of the five shortlisted cities bidding for UK City of Culture 2021, which was commissioned by BBC News at Six and Ten. As executive producer of the series, she worked with a highly creative and experienced team of correspondents and senior producers. Colleen’s hope is that each film evokes and inspires a sense of place.
