About Me

A self-shooting documentary producer / director with over a decade of industry experience, and 7 X 60’ primetime hours taken through the edit.

Worked mostly on sensitive access and observational documentaries, but with a recent flurry of talent-embed projects to my name including the first series of award winning "Inside Our Autistic Minds... Read More

Emma is definitely 'one to watch'. As a director she is naturally inquisitive, likeable and thoughtful. She looks beneath the surface to consider more complex storylines and works tirelessly to ensure a fair and honest representation appears on screen.

She is a brilliant shooter who is always striving to bring back the most engaging and beautiful footage. She engages with edits and edit producers outside of her own edit to encourage as much feedback as possible. She is zealous in her efforts to create the best films she possibly can. 'That will do' is not a sentiment that Emma Jones has ever said.

Her attention to detail regarding viewers trust, compliance and contributor care is second to none. She has the most detailed notes chronicling phone calls and shoots of any PD I've ever worked with. Her scripts are concise and she doesn't let anything 'slip through the net'.

I'd hire Emma again and I expect to see her name attached to many landmark documentaries over the years.

Emma is a strong and creative PD. We worked together under challenging circumstances and Emma brought a calm and measured approach to all stages of production. Methodical and focused in pre-production, ambitious and resourceful in the field and all with an eye on what's need for the edit. Emma's relationship with contributors is always sensitive and fair, creating a trust that brought the best out of their contribution.

As effective in a big team as she is on her own with a camera, Emma only brings quality to any project she's part of.

William Fairman

Emma has been a fantastic support during production. Her hard work and boundless enthusiasm has made her a key member of the team. She has a great instinct for story and character and I would work with her again in a flash.

Emma is great to work with - thoughtful, brilliant on sensitive subjects/ contributors and highly diligent - can't recommend her highly enough!
