Christian is hugely talented and I loved working with him. He was Series Director on Harry’s Heroes: Euro Having A Laugh for ITV and is hands down the best SD I’ve worked with so far. He’s brilliant visually but equally as strong editorially which really sets him apart. He’s tenacious, a real perfectionist, works so hard and really cares. He’s also funny and great to have on a Team. He is brilliant on location, no matter how stressful things get, he just takes it all in his stride. He’s also fantastic in the edit - a great Writer, gets pace and tone, and how to craft story. Our Edit took place during Covid-19 lockdown and I’m so pleased Christian was still on-board as it gave me huge peace of mind whilst we were all working remotely. Can’t recommend him highly enough, can’t wait to work with him again, and very happy to give a reference if needed.
Christian is exceptional running edits for series. His instincts for forming shows, writing scripts and giving new series tone and purpose are superb. This combines with being great running a team and his skills at being receptive to feedback from Execs and channels. A creative, hard working, very safe pair of hands.. He is also a lovely chap…which always help!
Christian was the tireless and passionate series director on our NatGeo series. He brought a rare and hugely valuable combination of comedy and doc experience, which was essential to cracking this unique and boundary-pushing series. Our whole team is incredibly grateful for Christian's massive contributions to the show and his deep commitment to shaping something new and different in the science series space, with style and humor.
