Seb is a rare breed. A pleasure to work with; supremely talented; a hardworking team-player; but totally considerate of budget and schedule! Creative, imaginative and completely across story - Seb produced a brilliant Sky Arts film for us at Yeti. It's a film that has won/been nominated for FIVE awards. I would jump at the chance to employ Seb again on any kind of arts/history/ specialist factual programme.
There’s a clarity to Seb’s thinking and directing. He knows exactly what he wants and how to achieve it, and yet he has a playful ability to react to what unfolds on the day. Working with me, he brought just the right degree of freshness to a long-established format. He’s also brilliant with contributors and attuned to their vulnerabilities and duty of care. He’s quietly confident, while at the same time collaborative and open. It’s lovely working with Seb.
