About Me
Alexandra has developed for me some of my most challenging projects and time and time again she delivers. She gained exclusive access to film inside America’s second largest hospital for an exciting new science series and has also secured unprecedented access to a maximum security prison in the US to film a genre-busting format combining observational filming with dramatic reconstruction. For this she gained sensitive access to six female inmates, shaped the series’ concept and produced a sizzle that won us the commission. Alexandra is hard-working and diligent and I can always rely on her to deliver the goods. She is brimming with ideas and is a great asset to our development team.
Alex is a smart and visually creative natural story-teller who can turn her hand to most types of programme making.
I worked with her on documentary / drama hybrid 'Women in Prison', a challenging access series that she produced for several months on location. She did a stellar job under difficult circumstances and I trust her judgement in all things editorial.
Alex has tons of energy and an ability to get along with almost anyone. She brings enthusiasm, attention to detail and creative flair to a project and her can-do attitude is a breath of fresh air.
I worked with Alexandra on ‘Dangerous Persuasions’, a docu-drama series that tells extraordinary true tales of psychological manipulation. Alexandra secured tough access to several brilliant stories. She has a fantastic knack for hunting out a good story and putting in the hours necessary to secure and maintain access to the most sensitive contributors. She has excellent people skills and is able to get contributors to open up about their most buried secrets. She is diligent, hard-working and creative - a real asset to any team. I'm looking forward to working with her again at the earliest opportunity.
