Multi award-winning Director and Producer with strong journalistic instincts and a passion for telling compelling stories driven by brilliant characters. With experience across primetime current affairs, observational documentaries and feature-length films, I strive to make ground-breaking work which asks difficult questions, starts conversations and inspires meaningful change.
I have a proven ability to devise and execute original ideas and enjoy finding new ways to make stories visual and dynamic. I am a confident self-shooter with an eye for cinematic detail but also love directing crew and collaborating with DoPs to create interesting and stylish sequences. I also have extensive experience in secret filming and am well-versed in projects with complicated legal and compliance issues.
While I welcome the challenge of telling stories without narration, I am equally comfortable working with both established and emerging talent. I am also skilled at securing and managing complex access and pride myself on my ability to build and maintain relationships with sensitive and sometimes vulnerable contributors, including survivors of sexual violence.
In the edit I am creative, collaborative and dedicated to bringing the vision to life with precision and care.
