Read MoreI am a BAFTA and RTS nominated self shooting Producer/Director and have made series, singles and 90 minute feature docs. I have significant experience in maintaining relationships with contributors in sensitive situations. Skilled at setting up shoots abroad, I am Hostile Environment trained and I've worked on documentary shoots in UK, USA, Europe, Caribbean, Middle East and Asia and find it no problem in adapting to local conditions. I have cut many hours of programmes for all major broadcasters and SVODs, and love being able to weave narratives and stories. I've directed global names such as Lewis Hamilton Idris Elba, Danny Boyle, Dame Joan Collins and Charli XCX and collaborated with Banksy, Chris Smith (Fyre Festival/Tiger King) and Spike Jonze.
My passion is in finding stories and characters around the world and have experience working with both large and more intimate teams. Skilled at shooting on Sony and Canon cameras. Adept at interviewing and extracting actuality within tight timeframes and have worked with a broad range of contributors from Hollywood film stars to children in the West Bank. In development I have worked on a number of taster tapes and treatments which have been commissioned for BBC, Channel 4 and Netflix.

Lauren is extremely bright and talented - she did a great job edit producing for me on a history series - her writing skills are top notch and she should definitely be stepping up to directing and producing as I have no doubt she'll make great programmes too.
