About me
I have produced and directed documentaries around the world, in remote and challenging locations such as Papua New Guinea, Mexico, South Africa, Russia and the Middle East. Working with remote tribes and different cultures allowed me to develop my own filmmaking style and skills to complement a different way of working. The importance of furthering relationships and winning the trust of contributors remains at the heart of everything I do.I worked on the long running adventure travel series 'Lonely Planet' and BBC's 'Holiday', which enabled me to understand the demands of making programmes overseas, with small and large crews on the full range of budgets. I enjoy overseeing a large team and working with great creative talent, as well as self-shooting in sensitive environments.
I'm particularly interested in telling stories about people in unusual or extraordinary situations - whether pushing the human body to extremes as contributors did in the BBC's successful series, 'Last Man Standing'. At the heart of every story is a great character.
