Dom Unsworth MBE

Dom Unsworth has been a producer for more than 20 years, making 50-plus short films in that period, which have screened at more than 20 BAFTA, BIFA or Academy accredited festivals globally. She’s passionate about inclusion and accessibility in the screen industries and supports diverse talent, crew and artists while producing commissions for the likes of the BBC, Channel 4 and UK Film Council. She has also supported thousands of underrepresented artists and filmmakers to secure work through her Slough-based social enterprise, Resource Productions. In 2020, she was awarded an MBE for services to apprenticeships.

Dom started in the industry as a runner while still at school, before making her first short, Stain, in 2005. Among the many short films she has produced since then are Exhale (2021), by BFI Future Film Festival 2022 award winner Adekemi Roluga; Fish (2021), by Underwire nominee Emilie Cheung; Lehenga (2018), by Iris Prize nominee Nathalia Syam; and Tehzeeb (2015), by BAFTA nominee Myriam Raja.

In 2021, Dom founded Parity Pictures in Bolton, with the aspiration of producing more regional long-form content. She produced her debut feature film in 2023, Little English, a British-South Asian romantic comedy that had its UK premiere at the London Indian Film Festival in June 2022. Following this film’s theatrical success, Parity is now negotiating further distribution deals.
