DIRECTING
PRODUCING
EDITING
I made my debut as a producer and director in theatre in 2018 when I opened a production company, Misfits Theatre Group. The company was aimed at providing a safe place for trained actors, who were not yet professional, to gain more experience in the industry.
We started with workshops and grew to produce 2 successful shows in 2019 before the company closure in 2020 due to Covid-19.
The cast and crew of each workshop and show have made long lasting connections and are still creating productions of their own today.
I have since produced and directed a short film "Looking Up" during lockdown.
THEATRE
Romantic Fools
March 2019
With a cast of 12 actors, and a crew of 3, the Misfits tackled the UK premier of the hilarious adult romantic comedy play - written by the talented American playwrite, Rich Orloff and produced and directed by Carla Hart.
October 2019
A flash back to the nostalgia of school days! From the trials of not wanting to go to school to seeing your teacher at the weekend, the Misfits entertained with a hilarious and fun filled timetable of poetry, songs and monologues based on a typical day at school - produced and directed by Carla Hart

FILM
Looking Up
April 2020
I entered a competition that was part of an initiative to encourage filmmakers to keep filming during lockdown. At the time I was living on a narrowboat with no equipment, no software and no crew and no budget. I had also never made a film before.
The film was shot entirely on my phone, using a pair of headphones and a second phone as a lav mic and receiver.
EDITING SHOWREELS
If you've got new footage for your showreel and need someone to splice in all your best bits, I would love to help. I've edited many showreels for actors and love finding just the right combination of scenes and putting them together to make you look good.
Please do get in touch for a free quote and to discuss what you feel needs doing.
“I have worked with Carla on numerous productions. Her direction is one of calm, focused observation whilst giving the actor an opportunity to take risks. As a producer, she has a solid understanding of the theatrical process in order to deliver to a high standard."”
