Strong self-shooting London-based female documentary Producer / Director with over a decade of industry experience. Most of my experience over the years has been on sensitive observational and institutional access documentaries. My last project was BBC2’s ‘Inside Our Autistic Minds’ - a 2 X 60’ series about the adult autistic experience, featuring Chris Packham. Both episodes are up on BBC iPlayer.• One to Watch 2017 - 2018 (Selected, from over four hundred applicants, as one of thirty rising stars in the TV industry) • In 2018 I directed the first series of award-winning and re-commissioned documentary series 'Emma Willis: Delivering Babies' • Worked on the first series of many re-commissioned and channel defining documentaries (Emma Willis: Delivering Babies, W Channel; 24 Hours in A&E and The Secret Life of the Zoo, Channel 4; Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby, BBC2; and My Violent Child, Channel 5) • I have taken six hours of primetime television through the edit (Inside Our Autistic Minds, BBC2; Emma Willis: Delivering Babies, W Channel; A Very British Airline, BBC2; Britain’s Cocaine Epidemic and Student Sex Workers, Channel 5; and Swipe Right for Murder, Really Channel) • Strong and creative self-shooter - actuality scenes (including reactive and observational filming, and in both single and multi-camera environments), master interviews and PTCs - FX9, FX6, FS7 & C300 with prime and zoom lenses. • Experience of recording and monitoring sound on four channels. • Experience of remote directing (Investigation Discovery’s High-Speed Chase - Working title) • Confident directing talent, including talent new to documentary-making - I have worked with Chris Packham (Inside Our Autistic Minds, BBC2); Emma Willis (Emma Willis: Delivering Babies, W Channel); Giles Coren & Monica Galetti (Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby, BBC2); Adam Deacon (Can We Trust the Police? BBC3); YouTube personalities ClickForTaz (YouTube Creator Spotlight, YouTube) & Claira Hermet (I Love My Boobs But They Have To Go, The Guardian); and Blogger Rae Duke (What Should I Believe In?
