I am a seasoned producer, director, writer, and edit producer who is passionate about vividly bringing the past to life. Combining my dual Masters degrees in History and over 23 years of documentary in high-calibre documentary filmmaking, I have a proven track record of producing engaging, insightful films spanning broadcast and blue chip SVOD (DISNEY/NAT GEO/BBC/DISCOVERY/CH4/CH5). I thrive under pressure; turning complex subjects into accessible, compelling stories from conception to screen. I have directed A-List talent from Steven Spielberg, Brad Pitt and Daniel Day-Lewis to more
vulnerable and inexperienced contributors. My films combine visual flair and sound editorial judgment with strong scripting and storytelling skills; leveraging AI tools to ensure cutting-edge efficiency and creativity from conception to screen.
