Read MoreI am a multi-award-winning producer-director and documentary filmmaker, known for his coherent story-telling, careful research, sense of humor, original visual solutions, and - I admit it! - intolerance for middlebrow dross.My films have been commissioned by the BBC, Channel 4, Sky Arts and Atlantic, Arte, PBS, Al-Jazeera, ABC-Australia and virtually every other major broadcaster around the world. They have been shown at festivals (as well as museums) internationally including Sundance, Tribeca, IDFA, Copenhagen, Warsaw, San Francisco, Palm Springs, Montreal, Toronto Hotdocs, Sheffield etc etc. In the past I have won Grierson, Peabody, US Headliner and German Grimme Awards. I speak several European languages, including German fluently.I have just finished a new film for Sky Arts and Atlantic, the unauthorized inside story of the Beatles Apple Corporation, a cautionary tale about Hippies. Most of my films have been feature docs but I have also made prime-time factual including a recent BBC2 film 'Workers and Shirkers' with Ian Hislop. I have made many films involving animation and CGI sequences. I usually work with a DOP but I have self-shot many interviews and some observational and image sequences for my films. I have worked with actors and created drama-doc and fake-archive sequences, occasionally with dialogue. Over the years I have won various awards including a Peabody, Grierson, US National Headliner and German Grimme Prize.Among my recent credits.... My documentary "Google and the World Brain" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2013 and was shown on the BBC, Arte, Al-Jazeera-US and at 60 film festivals.... My 2012 film "Poor Us: An Animated History of Poverty" was also shown on over 70 TV channels..... 'Falciani's Tax Bomb' (2014) was another feature documentary about the biggest leak of banking data in history and the HSBC whistleblower behind it, and it opened the Barcelona Documentary festival... "Chancers: the Great Gangster Film Fraud" (2015) was a comic caper documentary about a bunch of crooked British film producers who faked a £20m movie called "A Landscape of Lies."Lastly, I also occasionally make corporates and my clients have included Deutsche Bank, Ketchum, Bayer and the School of Law.
