About me

I'm a well rounded and experienced, BAFTA/Kodak award winning film maker with 30 years experience on sets and locations of all size. Ex broadcast cameraman. Ran my own production company. Now managing production. Loves a drama but hates being in the middle of one. It's my job to put those fires out before production, to make sure things run smoothly, giving the director the most effective time on set to deliver high end images and stories for film & TV.

How do I know how to do this? I was in the camera department for years so know what goes down on set, what problems crop up and how to solve them quickly. I also produced several award winning high end shorts (BAFTA/Kodak, Commonwealth awarded) which I developed from script stage, so I know what's required to tell effective stories. I have a skill set that is both practical and creatively problem solving. Wether it's a small shoot or a large VFX, stunts and practical heavy production, I can deliver.

I excel at organising both large and small crews, dealing wth everything through post delivery.
