Working with Dave has been an absolute pleasure.
Combining a solid background in shooting, producing and directing he has a wonderful ability to quickly gain the trust of contributors while following story and capturing stunning images.
Often times working as a one-man-band in an extreme and isolated location Dave was able to bring back full and complete stories with an outstanding level of coverage. He is both technically sound and a gifted storyteller.
You can trust his ability to deliver. I fully recommend Dave with the highest regard and look forward to working with him again.
Dave has a strong, clear, original, vision. His contribution to 'The Hunt for Britain's Slave Gangs' was decisive. He worked alongside the director to design and shoot the template interviews. His impeccable lighting and excellent camera work perfectly complemented the slaves' harrowing testimony. It was a creative tour de force - as well as an excellent piece of team work.
I always enjoy working with Dave. Aside from his technical skills, and aesthetic sensibilities (he always manages to get great footage), he's a truly original filmmaker. He manages to find a unique slant on a story, whether current affairs or a corporate piece - and show us a different side to something we think we already know. He gets to the heart of his characters, allowing them natural expression. Allied to that is his ease in a working environment, whether directing or filming (or both), and deep knowledge about how to make footage look, and sound, great. I look forward to the next film we work on together!
