Creative PD and skilled cameraperson, with 20 years directing experience. I make specialist factual filmsfor the UK and US market, with an emphasis on history,  science, engineering, arts and culture. Clients include Discovery, National Geographic, Curiosity Stream, BBC, More4 and Channel 5.

I relish working on brand new series, working up structures and shooting scripts. In the edit, I have strong edit producing and writing skills. I enjoy the challenge of tackling complex narratives. I’ve used CGI, animations, and drama recon.
