I am a multi award-winning Series Editor, Producer and Director with more than twenty years of wide-ranging network TV experience. I bring great commitment, drive, enthusiasm and good humour to all I do, with a reputation for masterminding complex, ambitious projects to a tight timescale, and turning every production into something special. I was the first Head of Content for the new global environmental streaming platform Ecoflix, helping launch the streaming platform and making two flagship documentaries for the Channel: 'Free Billy' about the campaign to free a captive elephant held for more than 30 years in LA Zoo, and 'Sanctuary: Elephant Nature Park' highlighting the remarkable work of founder Lek Chailert, dubbed the 'elephant whisperer'. 'Free Billy' has just been shortlisted for a Grierson Award. I have made films in most extreme environments, from war zones to the Arctic. I was showrunner on Discovery's top global hit 'Gold Rush', and also developed and produced the BAFTA-winning CITV series 'Bear Grylls Survival School'. Undercover documentaries I've filmed and produced include two high-profile films for BBC Panorama: 'In the Shadow of the Stadiums' documented widespread under-ago prostitution in the run up to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and 'Educating North Korea' gained unprecedented access to the secretive State. I was Series Producer of all eight seasons of the ground-breaking BBC Children's 'Serious' TV series which I created. The extreme adventure series won fifteen major awards, including four BAFTAs and three Royal Television Society awards, and is seen in a hundred and fifty countries. I am the author of a book to accompany the series: 'Extreme Survival: An Adventurer's Guide to the World's Most Dangerous Places'. I was Series Producer of the children's news programme Newsround, with responsibility for its short documentaries, Newsound Extra, winning an International Emmy for 'War Child' filmed in Mostar at the end of the Bosnian War. I have also been a Senior Producer in BBC factual programmes, making shows such as Tomorrow's World, Megalab and the 1999 Total Eclipse. '‘I feel very privileged to have had such a wonderful introduction to documentary film with you as my mentor Marshall. Watching and learning from you in the jungle, desert and corridors of TVC gave me an insight into so many aspects of our trade that still hold me in good stead to this day. As my career progressed I would often infuriate other directors and producers by critically comparing their work practices to my experience with you." Bruce Parry, Presenter, Tribe Read Less
