Miriam Lyons

Lyoness Films is an independent production company specialising in documentary films and digital content.
 
Creative Director Miriam Lyons has over fifteen years' experience of making observational documentaries and prime-time factual entertainment in the UK and abroad.
 
An award-winning producer and director, Miriam is quick to identify a strong story and confident shooting an unfolding narrative on prime lenses, directing natural performances from high-profile talent and non-actors with sensitivity and humour.
 
Miriam’s directorial debut came in 2005 with MISH KIDS for Channel 4. A series of short documentaries about the identity crises of religious teenagers, it rated highly and was Pick of the Day in The Guardian.

In 2008, Miriam was named one of Broadcast’s Hot Shot Directors. Shortly after, she produced THE PEOPLE SPEAK for History which was co-produced and co-directed by Colin Firth. 

Miriam has since shot, produced and directed documentaries for BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Five, Sky and National Geographic.
 
Miriam also creates documentary-style digital content. In 2013, she cast and produced a cinema commercial with CHI & Partners. BAD PRESS for the Prince’s Trust won nine prestigious awards, including Silvers at Cannes and the British Arrows.
In 2016, Lyoness co-produced Miriam’s first independent documentary film THE LOVE COMMANDOS with Oscar-nominated and Emmy award-winning Rise Films.
