Experienced PD working in docs, branded content and drama. I write, direct and edit/edit produce. Lots with kids, current affairs, religion, history and stuff that's funny. If my credits seem out of order, it's cos I have tried to put my favourite ones first, and ignored chronology. Where there's gaps I was making commercials, corporate or short films.
Selected for Directors UK Inspire 2020. I have 20 years of professional experience and trained on shows including Panorama, Time Team, The British Comedy Awards and Blue Peter.
I have directed large and small crews worldwide, and also shoot and edit myself.
I am a skilled and witty writer.
I am particularly skilled at helping inexperienced talent and contributors be their best on screen.
I am a creative, original thinker full of new ideas and storytelling techniques. I've even won awards for an innovative technique I developed for blending archive footage with animation.
I am a highly skilled editor in Premiere Pro, and an intermediate level After Effects artist.
I love shooting abroad and have filmed in China, South East Asia, former Soviet Union, South Africa, USA and more.
The subjects covered in my documentary and factual credits include current affairs, politics, business, history, relationships, medicine, religion, love, finance. I have recently returned to working in comedy and comedy drama after a gap of over a decade, and am keen to continue in both areas.
I have credits on BBC1, BBC2, BBC4, BBC World, ITV1, Five, History Channel, SciFi and CNBC. I have made award winning branded content, commercial and corporate work for clients including Citibank, Aldi, Jaguar, Land Rover, BUPA and many more. Please see www.nadaav.com. Read Less
