CV (Resume) + Production Credits
With 20+ years experience working in production, I've credits ranging from theatrical documentaries and prime time and cable factual television to online, radio and branded content. I’ve worked on projects ranging from non-profits - like Minnesota Teen Challenge and Doctors Without Borders - to big brand international corporations like Shell.
As a creative producer and director, with expertise in many aspects of production in both London, the US and setting up shoots internationally, I bring a can-do attitude to story-telling. Across branded projects and premium TV docs I’ve helped bring a distinctive visual flair, untangle seemingly unfathomable production problems and fulfil ambitious creative visions.
