I'm a highly organised, motivated and enthusiastic producer and director next available on Monday 22nd April.

I have just finished edit producing on a 90' documentary for Channel 4 and directing and edit producing a Born Without Trace: What Happened Next.

Before that, I was an Associate Producer on two Exhibition on Screen films, an award-winning event cinema series that brings major exhibitions from galleries around the world to cinemas. Intertwined with artist biographies and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage these films focus on the artwork alongside commentary from curators, historians, and contemporary artists.

Prior to this, I directed and produced on a new documentary series for ITV entitled Born From The Same Stranger that documents the journeys of donor-conceived people searching for information about their identity. The programme explores the ethical dilemmas and barriers that these people face in the pursuit of knowledge and has involved sensitive interviews, something that I specialise in. Previously I have been trusted to capture the personal accounts and unfolding journeys of those who have been adopted, found abandoned, impacted by conflict and survived trafficking.

Additionally, I have been a producer and director on ITV’s BAFTA-winning series Born Without Trace on which I edit produced a story. The series follows foundlings seeking to solve the ultimate mystery of their lives - who they are. It involved spending time in archives and utilising genealogy websites something I thoroughly enjoy. A reunion that I directed, which came about due to my research, was called one of the most affecting and emotional scenes in the series’ history by the press.

Alongside the above and my wealth of experience supporting directors as a producer, I have independently produced and directed short documentaries that have screened at Sheffield Doc/Fest, been awarded the IMDB New Filmmaker Award, and been highly commended on multiple occasions at festivals. Plus, I have worked on history, music, art and live event documentaries. 

I have plentiful experience in compliance, ensuring the duty of care to those both on and offscreen, and have filmed and negotiated access to hard-to-reach and highly sensitive institutions such as the police, the Ministry of Defence and a fertility clinic. 

I am equally confident casting whether that be finding strong characters and unique stories that will resonate with the viewer amongst thousands of applications or pro-active casting, gaining access to hard-to-reach groups through approaching organisations and creating online campaigns. I am able to build a good rapport with those on and off the screen that enables me to obtain honest and moving content when conducting interviews. 

I pride myself on my communication, research and organisation skills and have a good understanding of both the production and editorial side having worked as a production coordinator at the start of my career in the industry. I am experienced in setting up shoots abroad whether that be in Europe or further afield such as New Zealand, the USA, Uganda and Colombia. Plus I've worked with a range of talent from Anita Rani, to Davina McCall and Harry Hill. Read Less
