I specialise in editorial development and delivery of complex international productions -shaping story and character from initial concept through filming, developing expeditions and challenges, leading teams,recces and shoots, and bringing together editorial, production, logistics and safety in some of the world’s mostchallenging environments. Whether working A-list talent or inexperienced contributors, I combine creative vision withpractical expertise to shape stories. From scuba dives and cave descents to jungle canopy climbs and mountain treks,I’m equally comfortable leading small, agile crews into never-before-filmed locations or steering 50+ person teamsthrough some of the most challenging terrains on Earth. Beyond TV, I am a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Societyand Scientific Exploration Society Explorer as well as Founder/Director of Stories We Tell, a filmmaking mentoringscheme working globally with remote and indigenous communities.
