I’m a very experienced, versatile, award-winning P/D and Executive Producer, and have made over 30 films for all the major UK broadcasters, mostly history, current affairs, adventure and comedy documentaries.

I have filmed on nearly every continent, from jungles to the arctic, as well as hostile environments. I am happy whatever genre of film I'm making; whether self-shooting, working with large crews, doing drama recons or making purely archive shows. I speak fluent Russian and French, and very good Spanish, and have dual British/French Nationality, allowing me to work freely in the EU post Brexit.

I do hope you'll find my CV of interest... here's what people have said about some of my work:

“Dimitri Collingridge’s film is a cross between Tarrant on TV and Dispatches… a real eye-opener” - The Times
“This documentary would be funny if it weren’t so worrying” - The Telegraph
“Vladimir Putin’s Russia often seems to be a peculiar mixture of horror and comedy, and this documentary looking at Russian state TV captures that uneasy tone perfectly” - The Guardian
“A mix of clips and judicious captions, this eye-opening programme shows how Russia’s state-controlled TV depicts domestic and international politics” - Sunday Times
“This is bizarre, unsettling TV, the kind of viewing that will mess with your head if you let it.” – Radio Times
“Deeply troubling” - The Observer

Brits Behind Bars – Cocaine Smugglers:

“This documentary gained remarkable access to both criminals and crime-fighters” – The Telegraph

'The best documentary about marriage since My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding' - The Times
