 Summary:
I'm a passionate storyteller and visually creative director and producer with an impressive track record of compelling, revelatory documentary film-making. Most recently I’ve written and series directed KILLING HITLER, a 3-parter for Nat Geo, detailing the attempts on Hitler’s life from his rise to political prominence to his eventual suicide.
 
My eclectic filmography also includes the award-winning Netflix series THE LOST PIRATE KINGDOM (4 weeks in top 5 shows in the US). As Lead Director I devised the show's visual style and directed the first two episodes of the 6 x 50 which featured fully scripted drama set against animated 4K rear projection to tell the true story of the eighteenth-century pirates of the Caribbean. Other significant achievements include series directing the landmark 6 x 60, HITLER: THE RISE AND FALL for AHC/More4, which received multiple documentary Emmy nominations.
My drama-doc catalogue includes a recent episode of the iconic BANGED UP ABROAD, the headline-grabbing AUTOPSY: THE LAST HOURS OF MARILYN MONROE for Five and FINAL 24: SID VICIOUS the tragic story of punk icon Sid Vicious's life and death; there's also the recent FATAL AFFAIRS and WEB OF LIES for Discovery ID, two series of BREAKING THE BAND (Reelz) and SECONDS FROM DISASTER for Nat Geo.
 
I have extensive experience of presenter-led programming, the highlight, series directing the 'unmissable' ALAN WHICKER'S JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME for BBC, the broadcasting legend's last televisual journey.  There’s also a recent trip with Guardian restaurant critic Grace Dent into the expanding Greggs' empire for INSIDE GREGGS: 24/7 (Five/Netflix) which I filmed and directed. A feature length history of Tinseltown, HOLLYWOOD AUTOPSY, was a true passion project; as was producing/ directing episodes on the battles for Iwo Jima and Okinawa for hit Netflix series WORLD WAR TWO IN COLOUR: ROAD TO VICTORY.
 
Modern history remains a fascination; music and sport are obsessions (especially football and cricket). I've extensive expertise directing both large-scale Special and Visual Effects. I have credits for all major UK broadcasters and much recent success working for US networks and streamers (Netflix, Discovery, Nat Geo, Smithsonian). I have also directed a number of successful commercials for high end brands, including O2, Skoda and adidas. To see more of my work head to my website www.loop-productions.co.uk Read Less
