“Pick of the day”: ‘LA Times’ and ‘Guardian Newspapers’

Always loves a drama.

I’m a television a drama director (scripted) and a producer/director (unscripted) .

I have an unusual skillset: a creative edge, editorial judgement and tech-savvy. This has allowed me to create exciting action sequences, technically challenging scenes that create striking visual imagery that makes compelling editorial sense.

I love collaborating with actors and presenters to secure engaging and truthful performances, and have a vast range of genre experience from commercials to factual to drama.

I’ve extensively travelled and have directing crewed shoots across North America, UAE, Australia, Barbados, Russia and Europe.

Other genres include multi-camera entertainment and current affairs; live and as-for-live in broadcast studios, through to self-shooting on smaller documentaries with FS7, A7, C300, 5D, F800 cameras with primes, jibs, sliders, sound and lighting.

I started in the TV industry over 25 years ago as an editor and spliced together many primetime programmes across entertainment, factual, observational documentaries, current affairs and sport – useful skills to ensure what’s been shot elegantly dovetails together! As a result, I can self-edit on AVID and have recently edited 48’ drama/docs through to commission-winning sizzles for prime-time drama series.

I have also had the privilege to coach further education degree students at Ravensbourne University London, The MetFilm School London and Sheffield Hallam University at BA and/or MA level, across multi-camera drama directing and factual production.

Now based in Gosforth, Newcastle and Leeds.

Two vaccinations, plus top-up, plus flu jab, and even endured Covid in March 2022 – so now with antibodies!
