About Me
Gavin is an extremely talented, creative and versatile PD. He is hugely experienced in both long and short-form film-making and his films are always beautiful to look at and editorially strong. He takes control and ownership of any film or programme he PD’s and genuinely cares about every frame. As a director he has a beautiful eye and sees unexpected beauty through the lens. As a producer he is calm, organised and methodical. He’s enormously well-respected on the team for his film-making and he serves as an excellent role model. Gavin gets on very well with the on-screen talent who all feel safe under his leadership. He’s also a very talented self-shooter, getting the best from inexperienced performers whilst telling their story in a sympathetic way. I would have Gavin back on my team anytime.

I met Gavin when I was looking for a Series Director for a new and uniquely challenging BBC series, Glorious Gardens from Above. I needed someone who could bring visual flair and editorial clarity to the role and Gavin was that person. He led the team on location throughout filming, remaining calm in the face of multiple pressures and helping to deliver an award-winning series. Gavin is thoroughly good-natured, calm under pressure and a solid team-player. He can be relied upon to produce strong content, which looks fantastic and is a safe pair of hands. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.
