Joseph Hassell

A creative, versatile and thoughtful director with more than fifteen years experience making factual and documentary television, I have wide ranging interests, including architecture, the natural world, musical niches, ideological battles and public discourse, photography and visual culture to name a few. My work includes hard-hitting observational documentaries, specialist factual titles and popular factual series, for which I have filmed extensively abroad. In recent years I have directed on titles such as 'Attenborough & The Giant Sea Monster' and 'Countryfile' (both for the BBC), as well as making fiction short films. As I further develop my career I hope to utilise my factual storytelling experience to bring authenticity and realism to the realm of docudrama and scripted films.
