Jaine worked for me as a Producer/Director and Edit Producer across two 90 minute archive docs. She found fantastic contributors - persuading, charming and negotiating to get interviews secured within our timeframe. Jaine also tracked down a chef who had moved to the US, sourced amazing unseen archive from him, and helped to set up an affordable way to record an interview with him.
Jaine got some fantastic sync from our interviewees, helped to create the beat sheets and then edit produced across both docs. I found her collaborative, organised and calm under pressure. I would be very happy to work with her again.
Jaine is an excellent, hard working, super experienced producer with a wide ranging skillset. We recently completed a remote working primetime documentary in lockdown where Jaine became the main archive mastermind. I was amazed by her dedicaton and the results we managed to achieve as a team under the toughest of circumstances. Looking forward to working with Jaine again in the near future.
Jaine is among the very best producers I have worked with in three decades in TV. She has a good sense of the big picture while never losing sight of the essential detail. She is brilliant with contributors - both finding them and getting them to the screen. She is determined, uncomplaining and resourceful and never gives up. She does all this while remaining cheerful, amusing and lots of fun. I work with her any chance I get.
