Biography

I am a flexible and self-motivated P/D with a strong background in making wildlife, science and adventure documentaries for the UK, US and International markets. My passion is great storytelling whatever the subject.

As a Director I have covered a range of styles (and budgets), including ambitious cinematographic projects, re-cons, obs-doc and archive based shows. I get a real buzz from writing and have produced the script for many a show that I’ve worked on.

I have the sensitivity and tact to work with a range of contributors, from presenters to the public. I also thrive on the challenge of development and welcome any opportunity that expands my experience in this area further.

So far, I have pitched my ideas to comissioners and controllers at FIVE and the BBC THREE. Similarly, I have sucessfully pitched ideas to major corporate clients, and have gone-on to make them videos that are out of the corporate norm with the aim of making employees sit-up and listen rather than lean back and yawn.
