I've been making TV and film since I was a teenager, and I started working professionally after I left university in 1996. In the last few years I've been having a wonderful time writing and directing films about science and history.

For a large part of my career I've been an editor. I've edited hundreds of programmes; long form documentary, feature films, music videos, news packages, short films, corporate films, government films, TV commercials, public health films, sports programmes, computer games programmes, live launches for F1 teams, live multi-camera shows etc.

I've also made motion graphics for hundreds of projects. Using graphics to explain complicated ideas and heighten story-telling is a real passion of mine.

From 2010 onwards I spent much more time concentrating on being a great director. In 2019 I made three episodes of a series for Curiosity Stream called Secrets of the Solar System. Two years later, in 2021, I produced three more films for the follow-up series called Secrets of the Universe. From 2022 till 2023, I was the lead director for a new series of Connections with James Burke.

Early in 2023 I was the Series Director for a new short-form version of Connections. We cast science communicator Alie Ward as the presenter for this series in the place of James Burke. I'm extremely proud of what we have achieved.

I regularly go back to editing whenever an exciting job comes along.

During the last quarter of 2025 I edited a feature-legnth film for Channel 4 / Kalel Productions - a hybrid documentary / social experiment - very exciting. I will elaborate on it more, once it has been broadcast!

I also teach Film Production in the Animation department of the University of Hertfordshire - since late 2024. That has kept me very busy though much of January 2026. I currently teach 2nd years for an intensive week of producing their own film, then I teach over 160 first years once-a-week how to malke short films. 

I also teach Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer, Adobe After Effects and DaVinci Resolve for Soho Editors Training. Read Less
