Iain Canning, a British producer and joint CEO of See-Saw Films, is recognised for his work on the Oscar-winning film The King's Speech (2010). His contributions extend beyond this landmark production, as he is also involved in the upcoming Sinéad O'Connor biopic, which he is producing alongside other esteemed producers, including Emile Sherman. Canning's accolades include the Best Film AACTA Award, a testament to his dedication and talent.

Her portfolio includes productions such as Saving Mr. Banks (2013) and Elizabeth (1998). Though not explicitly mentioned in the current search results, her reputation in the film industry is well established.

Ed Guiney, an Irish film and television producer and co-founder of Element Pictures, has produced several acclaimed films, including The Favourite (2018), which won multiple Oscars, and the TV series Normal People. Though not explicitly mentioned in the current search results, he is widely known in industry circles.
