Hello! I’m an RTS-nominated documentary film-maker specializing in Arts, History, Specialist Factual and Drama recon programmes. I’m lucky enough to have worked with some of factual TV’s best DOPs, editors and composers, and I’ve directed everything from multi-camera performances, to self-shooting access docs, to drama recon, to short films. I have directed several episodes of the BAFTA award-winning series, Who Do You Think You Are? and co-directed the Emmy Award- winning Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy. My debut drama short, ‘Janet and Bernard’ was shown at festivals across the world.Experienced in closely scripted documentary making, I’m particularly enthused by strong visual storytelling, use of music and working with actors. I’ve made films for BBC, ITV1, ITV2, Channel 4 and Sky, all from pre-production to delivery, and I’ve produced and directed work for CNN, PBS and Reelz in the US. I'm also a professionally qualified stills photographer.I’m used to producing and collaborating with some of the country’s most prestigious and demanding talent and contributors, most notably with Who Do You Think You Are? as well as over 20 films for the multiple award-winning arts documentary series, The South Bank Show. My film on Grime, Bow and UK Hip-Hop was the first ever Sky Arts South Bank documentary to be nominated for an RTS Award. During many years of directing, I’ve been held up by armed police in a Rio Favela; locked in a strong room with Alan Bennett; got lost in East Berlin with Nick Cave; and swam in a thermal lake with Bjork...not all of the time intentionally.
