The BBC Proms 2022 saw me make my multicamera directing debut and I was subsequently trusted with two popular concerts in 2023 and in 2024 I look forward to two more. Recent productions include: 'Painting Birds with Jim and Nancy Moir' (including Christmas and Kids specials) for Sky Arts; a major event for the Royal British Legion on Horse Guard Parade, 'Korea 70' and also their Remembrance Assemblies for KS2+3; ‘Platinum Party at the Palace’; The BBC News Awards 2021, 2022; Producing x4 Proms concerts in the 2021 season; ‘Last Night of the Proms 2019’; Sophie Raworth live on the General Election Map outside BBC NBH; Commonwealth Observance Day, live from Westminster Abbey; VJDay75 - one of the first live events to be televised since lockdown; and ‘Unknown Warrior 100’.
Immediately after the Proms in 2019 I worked on ‘Global Citizen Live' as Producer of the fast turnaround Highlights programme for BBCONE. Lockdown also saw me producing some documentary shorts for BBC Arts - x4 Museums From Home - The Exhibition: with diverse subject matter ranging from Art Deco, to The Clash, all from my dining room table whilst homeschooling and renovating a house.
My career started on the magazine show 'Film 200x with Jonathan Ross' I learnt how to self shoot; script for major talent; get exclusive footage from feature films galore and how to get countless A-List celebrities to reveal the contents of their handbag in London, Venice and Berlin.
Previously on ‘The Proms’ I wrote over 450 quiz questions; booked celebrity guests and gallery produced live proms for BBC Four (as well as getting musicians to reveal the contents of their instrument cases) On ‘Crufts’ competitive dog owners exclusively revealed they are identical to their dogs, whilst I produced fast turnaround VT inserts for that night’s TX. On ‘Children in Need’ over three years I persuaded families to let their children tell their stories; I re-invented the format of the where your money goes films twice and I turned around celebrity tops and tails to VTs whilst we were on-air. On the Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower Shows I pulled off a cookery demonstration making ice-cream sundaes, in a heatwave; I directed a multicamera shoot from a (moving) boat in the Thames and directed countless VTs in a high pressure public environment.
I’d be delighted to work on your fast-turnaround / high pressure / we need it by yesterday production...do get in touch.
