Hans Baernhoft has stepped down as head of film and TV at UK production house Cylo Film to join Talisman Films, the UK production outfit best known for 1995's Rob Roy.

Baernhoft aims to step up feature activities at Talisman, which was set up in 1991 to develop and produce theatrical features, TV features and drama. Other features produced by Talisman include Complicity, directed by Gavin Millar and starring Jonny Lee Miller and Brian Cox, and Remember Me', directed by Nick Hurran and starring Robert Lindsay, Imelda Staunton, Rik Mayall and Brenda Blethyn.

"We will be expanding our current slate and aiming towards more high profile, high quality films for the international market," Baernhoft said.
