Edinburgh TV Festival Shoutout 🎬

Next week I’m heading to the Edinburgh TV Festival for the first time - stepping well outside my comfort zone - and far from my usual festival vibe. In fact, I’ve never put myself into a formal networking arena before so this is destined to be a sink-or-swim moment. Let's see!

As a journalist and producer, I’ve spent 12+ years in unscripted, chasing and telling the stories that matter to me and that I think will matter to others. But I live my most exciting life vicariously - through bringing other people’s stories to life. So the idea of putting myself out there feels wildly overwhelming.

My passion lies in making high-end programmes that connect emotionally, challenge perspectives, and find audiences who care as much as the team making them. I specialise in bold, access-led factual that puts people first: from intimate observational docs to multi-part factual series, and always with an ear for narrative detail and the stamina to see a project through from pitch to final cut.

So this is a shoutout to to connect - creatives, producers, execs, and commissioners - who are excited about the future of making tele and want to set the agenda rather than chase trends. If this sounds like you, I’d love to meet, share ideas and swap stories over a drink.

If you are going let me know, it would be great to connect.
