Credits
For more than 20 years, I have written, produced and directed a wide range of broadcast documentaries, news and current affairs programmes and corporate films.
My work has included one-hour natural history and observational television documentaries, with subjects ranging from indigenous culture to urban lifestyles, extreme sports, gun control and the protection of wilderness.
Trained as a newspaper and television journalist and producer, I have a keen sense for story-telling, and an ability to quickly find the heart of a story, whilst delivering compelling content under tight time and budget guidelines.
Over the years, I have interviewed and worked on location with Prime Ministers, celebrities, actors and people in the street. I enjoy putting people at ease, and coaxing the best out of even the most inexperienced or reticent contributor.
My corporate film production work has been translated into 13 languages, and I have extensive experience in using dramatisation and reportage techniques to enhance corporate story-telling and create engaging bespoke training and marketing content.
