Read MoreI'm an award-winning documentary P/D and Edit Producer specialising in obs doc / factual / fact-ent content. I've enjoyed working in broadcast TV for eleven years in a real cross-section of programming, building a wealth of skills and experience producing content across Fact-Ent / Documentary / Obs-Doc / Children’s / News / Quiz shows / live studio / Comedy. I believe I have a good understanding of what makes great TV from initial ideas through to delivery in the edit. I am confident directing talent and crew on location in the UK and abroad and similarly very at home working in the edit shaping stories and writing scripts with creative flair. I'm also a strong self-shooter on C300 / XF305 / PMW200 / FS5 experienced filming obs doc actuality, formal interviews, structured sequences and green screens. I have an inquisitive mind and journalistic approach to finding stories, developing characters and charting narratives. I’m extremely personable and always strive to form good relationships with people whether it’s to secure tricky access, achieve great interviews or alongside crew - some say I’m even pretty fun to work with.
