Read MoreIn a career spanning both development and production, I have been responsible for creating and delivering a variety of programmes, including Grierson and RTS award-nominated films. During eight years at Little Gem, I have been instrumental in winning several commissions, worked on productions from conception through to the edit, and helped grow the company. Areas of expertise include content-rich popular factual, specialist factual, and documentaries.
PRODUCTION: I have strong editorial skills including scripting, story producing and crafting narratives across a series. I have a track record of tenacity in securing difficult access and maintaining good relationships with talent and experts. I pride myself on getting the best out of contributors and a team on location, often in stressful environments.
EDIT: I am confident in writing VO scripts, crafting story, and delivering full episodes to picture lock within tight schedules. In my SP roles I have been responsible for overseeing multiple edits.
DEVELOPMENT: As well as generating ideas and pitching internally, I pitch and maintain direct contact with commissioners, manage a slate, lead brainstorms, create taster tapes and conduct journalistic research. I’m well practised in writing glossy treatments and decks which are tonally suited to a range of broadcasters and genres. I am experienced in securing access, and discovering and nurturing relationships with talent and contributors. I have also worked on many funded developments and done extensive pre-production work on commissions including casting and formatting. I’m proficient in editing (Premiere Pro) and self-shooting for development purposes.
