Available late MAY 2025 (with smaller projects possible earlier). I'm a highly creative Producer/Director, Series Director, Edit Producer of documentaries and high-impact investigative/experiential formats. Experienced in Development. Arts and History, with a dash of Science, Royal History, Music, Food and Crime. I've made successful and award-winning films for the BBC, PBS, Curiosity Stream, Sky Arts/History, ZDF, Channel 5. I love to find fresh narrative angles and create beatiful, dramatic sequences. Bringing clarity to complex ideas is a speciality. Valid I-Visa. Can work from Bristol, Cardiff, Plymouth or London, potentially also LA.

I am currently producing a podcast series and have been working on treatments as a Development Exec. My most recent film is a Who Do You Think You Are? for BBC1 (no, I can't say who, but it's moving and very funny). I directed the Jack the Ripper episode of Lucy Worsley Investigates which aired early 2025. My 90' feature doc on the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in the Bahamas went out on Channel 5 in spring 2024. I directed the first episode of the series Killing Sherlock for BBC2, and have directed regularly for Fake or Fortune? most recently on Joshua Reynolds. I made the Disappearance episode of Agatha Christie: Lucy Worsley on the Mystery Queen, and 3 episodes of Ancient Murders Unearthed, shaping this new investigative Crime/Forensic Anthropology/Archaeology format including fight sequences shot on location. I series directed Jay Blades: No Place Like Home - a distinctive new history series for Channel 5.

Other credits include Makeup: A Glamorous History (BBC2) presented by Lisa Eldridge, living history with Back in Time for School (BBC2); and Who Do You Think You Are? with Ruby Wax (BBC1). I've made innovative archive-only and interview and archive docs - such as History of Now for BBC 2, and films in the Timeshift strand for BBC4. As an Edit Producer I have worked on Battle of the Brass Bands (Sky Arts), series in Antiques and Food, as well as the shows I have directed.

I have worked regularly with top presenting talent, including Fiona Bruce, Jay Blades, David Starkey, Mark Gatiss, Turi King, Sara Cox, Lucy Worsley and many more. Presenters know they can trust me to keep a close eye on editorial content, direct a strong performance, and ensure that they shine.

I enjoy discovering what is distinctive and unexpected in a story and bring attention to detail and intellectual rigour to all my projects. I have strong interview skills and have filmed with a wide range of people, from academics to school kids. I enjoy drawing out and observing contributors in their home or working environments. 

Finally, I have experience in Development, write a mean proposal, and have won a number of successful commissions. I enjoy detailed secondary development, finding real stories and working up running orders. Great photoshop skills for decks. 

My personal interests draw me to a wide range of subjects, including early music, history of fashion and the history of  art, food and material culture (particularly of the 16th Century and 1930s). I have a succesful vintage clothing business and I contest with brass bands - currently Glastonbury Brass (1st Section). My academic background encompasses science, social science, history and arts, and I still engage in research in history. I have extensive safeguarding training as a junior football club welfare officer, and also spend my Saturday mornings as an assistant referee/linesman.
