Amanda is an experienced specialist factual and documentary Producer/Director who delivers emotionally powerful, visually compelling, and popular stories to high-rating audiences. She has worked across arts, history, current affairs and science on non-scripted single and obs docs, topical magazine and short form for BBC One, Two, Four, Channel 4, Sky, The History Channel, PBS/WGBH and NGO’s. She is currently developing ‘The Third Reich of Dreams’ a feature documentary with Snowstorm Productions and is republishing the book of the same title with Princeton University Press.Bringing an artistic sensibility, sensitive interview style and an informed background of social, historical (and sometimes) political context to her work, Amanda’s directing approach values originality and authenticity, making her work both visually creative and literate. She enjoys structuring complex stories, creating dramatic and emotional touchpoints through a developed aesthetic style of composition, lighting, and pace, getting to the heart of characters and capturing the personal and social events that have shaped their lives and careers. Her interview style is quiet and attentive; creating safe spaces for subjects and encouraging them to trust, open-up and reveal more intimate truths and motives.Reviews: "makes the kind of intellectually stimulating TV that gives BBCFour its identity" (The Guardian) "Barthes complex ideas about myth and signs are neatly explained .. it's fascinating".
