James is a gifted and hard working Director and Producer (and Series Director and Producer) who has worked with me on a number of high profile projects. The combination he offers of being highly creative, utterly dependable and a delight to work with is rare and valuable. James is a brilliant all-rounder and would be an asset to any team. He has also supported me with some of my ambitious development ideas, shooting fantastic taster material and being a great sounding board. Most recently that resulted in a high profile documentary for ITV1 : Lucy Letby : Beyond Reasonable Doubt ? James filmed one of the stand out scenes in the doc. A great production brain, excellent self shooting skills with director's creative flair.

Anouk Curry

James is one of those rare gems in life who’s not only incredible at their job, but is also a great person and a joy to be around. His ability to be a strong, decisive leader whilst still maintaining a kind, personable touch when dealing with contributors, talent and crew alike makes him an asset to any team and/or production. I thoroughly enjoyed working with James and hope to do so again in the future!

Rua Kasumi Turner

James has been keen, conscientious and unflappable on a very tiring programme, with an extraordinary scheule.

Great interviews, a very safe pair of hands in the eidt - I would definitely recommend him.
