About
A UK-based factual television Series Producer, Director and Writer specialising in ambitious, high-rating projects, working out of Bristol and on occasion London.
I combine strong narrative skills with compelling storytelling to create impactful real-life and wildlife stories, rich in drama.
As a perpetually-fascinated polymath I relish new challenges and opportunities to immerse myself in ever-changing subject matter. I believe in researching far and wide around stories, and taking my time to let the themes develop, so that I can constantly re-evaluate connections on location, and allow for serendipity.
I’ve worked on wildlife, adventure, history and science in many and varied approaches. From feature-length with never-before-seen CGI, to landmark multi-camera, year-long 4K shoots, right through to innovative & perfectly-formed short stories for BBC 1’s ‘The One Show’. On location and in the production office I am patient, calm and supportive of my team. I am confident in shaping new series to meet the needs of both the production company and international partners, especially from the US.
