FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – 23 JUNE 2026
ESSEX, United Kingdom, 23 JUNE 2026 – Vitale Productions Limited, Press – Vitale Productions Ltd (“Vitale”, “we”, “us, “our”), an Essex based production and development company, is delighted to join forces in association with Zack’s Mohawk Ltd. (“Mohawk”), a Liverpool-based, independent, television production company, for Mohawk’s television programme pilot “Cooked” scheduled to begin production in Liverpool on 26 June, 2026.
Vitale’s Managing Director, Daniel Cocklin commented: “Mohawk and it’s Director, Matthew Mohoney (Would Smith?, Your Flower Is Closing and Hello, My Son) wrote and is producing “Cooked“, an authentic, crime-caper comedy about an out-of-place 40 something year old who tags along with a group of reckless Liverpool youths with disastrous and certainly hilarious results.
Vitale knew that a relationship with Matthew, Mohawk and “Cooked” was perfectly suited for our slate and exemplifies our committed, ongoing effort to ensure that independent programme production continues as a true, creative, viable force.
Cocklin added: “Matthew (“Matty”) Mahoney is an award winning artist who embodies the energy, vision and undeniable talent in the community of artists driving Liverpool’s independent film community and very well recognized production infrastructure.
Vitale carefully considered a number of incredible opportunities that were pitched to us. We’re excited by “Cooked” and an enduring relationship with Matty and Mohawk. The underlying strength of Liverpool, its talent, technicians, crew and viability as a key production centre has motivated us to move forward.”
“It’s no exaggeration to say “Vitale is committed to Liverpool”.
Cocklin stated – “high quality programmes are increasingly only affordably produced by those with deep resources and well established supply roles with digital and linear buyers. Vitale wants to change that and show that high quality content can be delivered – together with the jobs that come with it – at sensible, responsible budgets that save money and give people work and a future!”
“Commissioners and buyers across digital and linear must not be unwilling participants in the sacrifice of the wellspring of independent programme producers and artists that, in large part, helped create the very industry from which they are increasingly excluded” Cocklin added.
“Cooked” shooting begins in Liverpool on Friday 26th of June and is scheduled to wrap by 29 June, Monday.
