"Zan is a great 'all rounder' with a wide depth of industry experience: As a director, she has a keen eye for shots, can put contributors at ease and help deliver engaging soundbites. In the edit she has a rational approach to organising material, which leads to quick, intelligent story telling. Her script writing can be thoughtful and engaging, or comic depending on the genre required. She is a tremendously hard working individual and a great asset to any production. "
Having worked with Zan on the Science Channel series, Monster Ships, I can confirm that she is personable, adaptable and a strong self-shooter with great editorial judgement - an invaluable addition to any production.
Sarah Patten, Producer, WAG Entertainment.
Zan is a self-shooting director and video editor with a strong sense of how to structure a story. She cares deeply about the people she is portraying in films she works on, gives projects her total commitment and is a delight to work with
Zan edited a half-hour observational documentary with me. She was able to creatively and beautifully weave together four very tricky stories shot around the world, to make the film engaging and moving. We had very little time but she was always pushing to make the film as good as it could be. I love working in edits that are full of ideas and would work with her again in a heartbeat. I'm happy to be contacted for a reference.
