TESTIMONIALS Chris Granlund – Executive Producer BBC Factual John Holdsworth is an exceptionally talented PD and a brilliant self-shooter. He has made 2 films for me and both were original, witty and beautifully shot. Both also delivered on time and on budget. John built up a good relationship with the talent and responded well to editorial suggestions from me and the rest of the team. It's been a pleasure to work with him and he'll always be high on my list of directing talent. [email protected] Richard Denton – MD 116 Films. John is an extremely gifted producer/director. In addition to what one might usually expect of a P/D, his skills as a cine-photographer are hugely impressive and his ability to marshall complex material and to script and edit intelligent documentaries all make him an extremely impressive and valuable creative talent. I would have no hesitation in recommending John and hope to work with him again very soon [email protected]
