Read MoreExperienced producer who combines a journalistic approach with a great eye for storytelling. Over the past nine years, I have worked across a huge range of genres, including fast turnaround current affairs, feature-length documentaries, and in-depth history series for UK and US broadcasters.
I love casting and finding stories, whether that is leading on sensitive access negotiations, social media outreach, or finding great characters. I am skilled at tracing people connected to past news stories and historic events for documentaries. This has ranged from scouring archive court records to trace individuals linked to the attempted kidnap of Princess Anne in the 1970s, to casting and interviewing people impacted by the 2011 riots (police officers, firefighters, victims, journalists). Having worked on sensitive access series including ITV's
Long Lost Family, I am always attuned to working empathetically with contributors sharing their story for the first time.
I have
directed interviews on several past productions including:
•
The Ruby Franke Story (Channel 5),
Riot: The Week England Burned (Channel 5).
Feel The Noise: The Music That Shaped Britain (BritBox).
The Queen & Her Cousins (ITV).
• Additional experience directing a drone and GV shoot in Normandy for
D-Day: The Unheard Tapes (BBC/ The History Channel).
I am always keen to get stuck in with development and research, casting experts, writing scripts and interview questions, setting up shoots (UK and International), directing interviews, supporting directors, and working with talent on location. I have supported several series through the edit and have some experience of
edit-producing, which I am very keen to build on.
• Other skills include: editing (Premiere Pro), second camera experience (FS7), working with fixers (France, Italy, US, Egypt, Caribbean), genealogy & archive research.
