Steve Abbott
Steve Abbott, a Bradford native, embarked on his career in London at HandMade Films in 1979, collaborating closely with Monty Python members and serving as Michael Palin’s trusted advisor. Despite his London base, he returned to Yorkshire to produce Brassed Off in the mid-90s. His contributions to the film and TV industry earned him memberships in prestigious organisations like AMPAS, BAFTA, and EFA. However, his proudest achievements lie in his founding roles at Screen Yorkshire and Bradford City of Film, instrumental in Bradford’s UNESCO City of Film designation. Now retired, he dedicates time to his passions for sports and remains an avid supporter of Bradford City AFC, Yorkshire CCC, and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
