T he founder of Greengage Films Malka Holmes, studied Fine Art and Design at Leeds Metropolitan University, and went on to work in televison in Germany as a photographer. On her return to the UK she worked as a photographic assistant for the wildlife and environmental photographer David Woodfall. She then specialised in moving imaging and worked for Time Team C4, the BBC science department in London and the specialised factual department in Cardiff.

Malka then felt she wanted to pursue her career by focusing more on the natural world by volunteering for the Wildlife Trusts and the RSPB, this included getting her hands dirty planting trees, hedge laying and outdoor education, this lead to Malka making films for NGO’s and charities, so the seed for Greengage Films was sown.
