I'm an Executive Producer and Head of Production specialising in international finance & co-productions for High-End TV Drama and narrative and documentary feature films.
Based in London, I support Executive Producers to:
• Close complex international finance structures
• Deliver quality productions on tight budgets and schedules
• Secure distribution so films reach real audiences.
I am brought in when the stakes are high and certainty matters.
Closing International Finance in a Competitive Market
Global competition for production finance means projects must be structured precisely and closed efficiently. As Head of Production on the high-end TV drama AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, I supported the UK Executive Producer to close financing across:
• International co-production partners in Europe and Africa
• 8 international broadcasters
• 3 subsidy providers.
The series was delivered on time and on budget, achieving global sales and international success.
Delivering Quality Under Budget and Time Pressure
Creative ambition often exceeds financial reality. My background in directing documentaries for the BBC and Discovery means I understand how to protect quality while restructuring budgets and schedules. As an independent producer on FREESTYLE, I:
• Built the budget and schedule
• Secured £130K from BBC Film, Film London and the UK Film Council
• Delivered the film in 18 shooting days
• Completed the shoot on time and on budget.
The film achieved UK theatrical release and international sales.
Securing Distribution in a Crowded Market
Even strong films face major barriers to theatrical release, especially foreign-language documentaries. For FOOD DELIVERY: FRESH FROM THE WEST PHILIPPINE SEA, despite winning the Tides of Change Award at DocEdge, UK theatrical distribution was not guaranteed. I:
• Built a targeted marketing strategy
• Pitched directly to exhibitors
• Secured a UK theatrical release I work across UK and international productions, bringing calm judgement, financial rigour and practical problem-solving from script to screen.
I have a strong commitment to inclusion and working with producers from Africa, the African Diaspora and the Global South.
