Judge #2: Tracey Bell
Managing Director Tracey Bell founded Scream in 1998 and now the company is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. The inspiration of Scream stemmed from Tracey’s firsthand experience of the lack of opportunities for talented youngsters in Lancashire.
Tracey’s background in radio, media and performance provided her with invaluable inside knowledge and contacts which she utilized to establish Scream as a main player in the entertainment industry. Tracey has also written numerous television formats resulting in her very own series on CITV which was aired worldwide. She has also worked as associate producer on a number of popular children’s TV shows.
Tracey’s hard work and determination has paid off as her kids and adults can now be seen performing in major TV series, feature films, commercials and the Disney Channel.
Scream now has a very busy office in the new TV Hub, Media City in Manchester, which is concentrating on Scream Management’s Kids Division and Extras Division . Its sister company “Red Door” operates from London concentrating on Adult actors.
