Mansion Pictures was established by British husband and wife team Hannah Davis and David Conolly. They also produced drama for the BBC and made the critically acclaimed shorts, A Life In a Day (nominated for Best Short Film, British Short Film Festival) and The Other Side of the Mirror.
Their first feature film, which they co-wrote, produced and directed was Mothers & Daughters. For which they were nominated - The Golden Hitchcock Award for Direction.
Mothers & Daughters was invited to film festivals worldwide in 2004, debuting at Cannes Film Festival then playing at: Sao Paulo; Montreal, Quebec; Barcelona; Chicago; New York Indie; AFM; The Hamptons; Raindance, and finally the Festival Film Brittanique du Dinard where it was chosen as one of the top six British films of 2004.
