I have directed critically acclaimed films for many major broadcasters, including Netflix, the BBC and Channel 4, and have developed multiple projects from conception through to delivery. I am experienced in retrospective and observational film-making and shoot to a high standard. My work includes The Ripper (No 1 on Netflix UK, Top 5 Netflix Global), Life and Death Row, (BBC BAFTA-winning series), and the BAFTA nominated documentary Louis Theroux: Talking to Anorexia. In 2018, I was named a BAFTA Breakthrough Brit — an initiative highlighting the best of creative talent in the UK screen industries. My most recent project, 'Inside the Cult of the Jesus Army', premiered at Sheffield Docfest 2025. I specialise in difficult access and paid developments and can also edit produce/direct.
