Experience:
I am a confident self shooter and an imaginative crew director, producing strong visual and narrative structure. I have cut my own footage and learnt greatly from that. I enjoy seeing a project through from concept to delivery and have original scripting ideas for PTC’s, links and VO. When under pressure, I retain my sense of humour, and strive to deliver the best results, regardless of the budget or size of the production.

Location:

Experience:
I am a shooting PD (DSR 500 & Z1)and Director with experience of working on Prime Time programming.
I have worked in TV for 10 years, and in Ob docs for the past 4 years.
My credits include BBC ('Tsunami Children' and 'Desperate Midwives'), C4 ('Wife Swap'), ITV, Discovery & Sky.
Although I have worked mainly within Ob Docs (30 & 60 min) for the past 4 years, I also have experience of working on other program genres - including Health, Religion, Art, Multicultural and Youth. I also have experience of working on presenter led format shows.
My experience includes Directing crew, Editing, writing scripts & VO, and experience of filming abroad - including Third World.
I have extensive experience of working on subjects which require sensitivity - such as drug addiction, aids, bereavement, trauma (tsunami), infertility, and childbirth -and I believe that my approachable manner has been instrumental in getting contributors to take part.
Prior to TV, I was a trained and experienced journalist and professional photographer, and therefore have good editorial judgment and a creative visual sense.
Happy to work in any location. Experience of filming in remote locations abroad.
