NEXT AVAILABLE JANUARY 6th 2025.

I own a C300 + sound kit for Self-Shooting (Full HD); I have my own car so react quickly if needs be in the UK.

I’m an experienced, visually creative producer/director with network credits for all major UK broadcasters. I have directed & produced hundreds of short form programmes directing crew and self-shooting, and edit producing, with top talent for primetime. Experience in Development, leading ideas from pitch to TX delivery in fast-turnaround and tightly budgeted productions. My focus and experience is on specialist factual, current affairs, presenter-led, factual entertainment and observed doc programming. This year I've been working on BBC projects for 500 Words, Children in Need, The City of Culture, Museum of the year, Comic Relief adventure challenge 2022 for which I was lead PD, and current affairs & topical items for the BBC one show. Recent stories include exclusive access with UK-Medics working in Ukraine, environmental coverage of COP26. BBC one charity strand through lockdown (2020) • The Comic Relief challenge in Namibian Desert; sending daily VTs (2020) Secrets of your supermarket food – science/consumer Channel 5 series (2019) • Jamie & Jimmy’s Friday night feast – Multi-cam food + builds shoots/edits (2018) I'm seasoned in producing visually exciting stories, directing single and multi-camera shoots, directing presenter-led, contributor-led VTs and edit producing fast-turnaround VTs for live programmes, as well as for blue-chip productions with longer lead times. I've worked on many charity programmes, from Comic relief to Children in need – where I’ve co-directed the BBC Children in Need Rickshaw challenge for 8 years, making over £32million. I've directed freelance crews on location in the UK & abroad, including the Americas, Caribbean, Africa, Europe and Asia. In my spare time I'm passionate about film. I've produced several short films and a feature length period drama, and I am writing several scripts and working on several documentary projects. I enjoy development of television and film projects. I am hoping to work on more observational documentary programmes and longer-form factual programmes in the future. Website/example films : http://www.mattpt.com Read Less
