Matthew Gillbe

I have over twelve years experience directing specialist factual, fact/ent and comedy for major terrestrial and digital channels in the UK and USA, creating content ranging from short insert films up to two hour documentaries. Since developing a keen eye for visual creativity as a young photographer I left university with the desire to work with video. Having first being handed a camera as a runner on the Adam and Joe Show (Channel 4) it wasn't long before I was self-shooting for broadcast on shows like Trigger Happy TV (Channel 4). I was soon directing multi-camera crews on VT inserts for shows like The Big Breakfast and The 11 O'clock show (both also Channel 4), and finally entire programmes. I am lucky enough to have worked closely with some incredible talent, including Ricky Gervais, Dom Joly, Vic Reeves, Nick Frost, Steve Jones, Chris Moyles and many more. As an experienced producer and writer I am able to direct with a 'producers head' on which has proved invaluable time and time again in ensuring that I deliver spectacular visual material without compromising on entertainment value or factual content.
