About
Easy-going producer and filmmaker. I started in investigative current affairs and have since worked on everything from massive social campaigns to Netflix wildlife docs.
I can project manage, produce, write, edit and shoot. Most importantly I can be a friendly approachable face to whoever we're working with. I've produced extreme high risk shoots for the BBC, stunts, social-first activations, large creator campaigns, highly regulated commercial aviation and more.
"Superb, long-serving member of staff. Strong technical, design and logistics skills. Good strategic thinker, executes reliably. Experienced investigative producer. Qualified for tasks in hostile environments." Jon Ossoff - MD of Insight TWI, now US SenatorFull CV ↗
