KYLE GIBBON
Kyle Gibbon is a Royal Television Society-winning and Rose d’Or-nominated documentary producer, as well as a voting member of BAFTA. A highly experienced archive specialist, he is a two-time winner of the FOCAL International Award for Best Use of Footage (2020, 2024) and a nominee for FOCAL Researcher of the Year. Over his career, his films have premiered at prestigious festivals worldwide, including Sundance, New York, Venice, and IDFA.
Currently serving as Head of Archive & Licensing at OR Media in London, Kyle leads a central team facilitating complex current affairs and historical documentaries. His work frequently involves managing projects set in challenging and hostile regions such as Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Lebanon - and overseeing all licensing spend accross the group. His work within this role has contributed to FOCAL Award-winning films. Alongside production, he oversees the company's back catalogue sales and international distribution.
For over 14 years, Kyle has collaborated closely with globally acclaimed director Nick Broomfield, producing several successful feature films. Most recently, he produced the critically acclaimed documentary The Stones and Brian Jones (2023), which was acquired by Magnolia Pictures for US theatrical release. Prior to this, he produced Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac - named Film Pick of the Year 2021 by The Guardian - and the Sundance 2019 Official Selection Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love, which enjoyed global theatrical success via Universal Pictures. His work with Broomfield also includes the Academy Award-shortlisted Tales of the Grim Sleeper (2015), Whitney: Can I Be Me, and My Father and Me.
Kyle’s impact in documentary filmmaking began early; his 2012 graduation film from Newport Film School was the first to tell the story of the Ballymurphy Massacre in Northern Ireland. It won an RTS Award for Best Student Documentary and was instrumental in helping the families win justice, culminating in a full apology from UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson in Parliament.
Alongside his feature film work, Kyle has produced major formatted specialist factual television for Discovery Channel and UKTV, including Impossible Engineering and Impossible Railways. Shot across the globe - from Antarctica to the International Space Station - these series have been broadcast in over 150 territories.
