I am an enthusiastic Senior Development Producer, Producer Director and Edit Producer with extensive multi-genre development experience.
Great journalistic instincts and story finding skills. Lots of experience in gaining access and keeping it warm until commission.
I am self-shooting, including foreign shoots in France, Spain and Italy. I have a history of working closely with on screen talent, as well as casting observational documentaries. I have a strong knowledge of camera equipment (FS6, FS7, Canon C300 and DSLR) having run Camera Workshops at the Triforce Film Festival at BAFTA in December 2017 and 2018, for young people trying to get into the industry.
I'm proficient in setting up a scene and have more data wrangling experience than I'd like. I have Blackbird experience, helping to find the story in the footage. I am fluent in Final Cut X and Premier Pro. Strong organisational skills in both computing, paperwork and people management.

Read LessAfter starting with us in a one day-a-week work experience role, Paul quickly moved into Development. His hard-working attitude, tech experience and keen eye for format points made him a valuable member of our team. When one of our shows was commissioned, Paul was our first choice to take on a Junior Researcher role; a role in which he flourished. During his time with us, Paul developed strong skills in casting, research, Editorial and production, as well as relevant hands-on experience on location. Paul would be an enormous asset for any production looking to hire a Researcher.
