Production



'Stacked' was created and written by Bryony Ive as her first drama commission. Feeling that there was a lack of drama films for young women, she decided she wanted to write a show for and about that demographic. Following upon surveys she had read which indicated "63% of 15 to 19 year olds claimed that glamour modelling was their ideal profession", she decided to tackle the issue in a drama presentation. She sent her original script treatment to Channel 4's 4Talent Pilot competition, received positive feedback in that her film was not set in a school, and expanded it to include more scenes set in the magazine offices. Channel 4 then set her up with the Brocken Spectre independent production company to film the project. 'Stacked' became the very first drama film to be created through 4Talent Scotland's PILOT scheme.

Reception



'Stacked' won Channel 4's 4Talent Pilot competition, the reward of which was to be aired on Channel 4.
