Read MoreI'm a broadcast television producer and award-winning Virtual Reality film director. With a degree in Biological Sciences (Zoology) and over a decade of experience within the media industry, I have a passion for telling stories about science and the natural world.My media work spans multiple formats, from conventional 4K TV to 3D, Virtual Reality and online web content. In television, I have worked on the largest global wildlife series for the BBC, Netflix, Sky and National Geographic. I have scripted, directed, and led complex wildlife behaviour sequences in exceptionally challenging environments worldwide. I have won several awards at major film festivals worldwide for my work in Virtual Reality, pioneering ground breaking new methods in storytelling. I have produced an award-winning educational website led by Sir David Attenborough and my photography has made the front pages of both the Daily Mail and the Times newspapers in the UK.I place a high importance on collaboration with the scientific community on projects I work on. I have forged relationships with major research organisations and scientists across the globe to ensure that sequences I have filmed have been both accurately portrayed and executed smoothly.In addition to my analytical, organisational, and editorial skills, I am a PADI certified diver, a confident cameraman, a competent editor and I am Emergency First Aid trained.
