About

Working as a producer, director and cinematographer, I make genre-defying, multi-layered, surprising films that have genuine social impact: exploring defining moments in history, the grey areas of morality and what makes people tick.

 

My work has been recognised by the OscarsBAFTA, Broadcast, Rory Peck, Sandford St.Martin, Amnesty and Mipcom.

 

I relish creating the right space for A-list talent to tell their story in an authentic and credible way. Authored docs I've directed include Prue and Danny's Death Road Trip (C4): a double-headed polemic about assisted dying, George Clarke's Council House Scandal (C4): a personal journey into the woeful state of social housing and Planet Sex with Cara Delevingne (Hulu / BBC3), following the model, actor and activist exploring sexuality and gender around the world.

 

I cut my teeth directing in high-end specialist factual, so love to crystallise complex facts and weave intricate narratives in long format, retrospective films. From true crime stories like The Bus Driver: Britain's Cocaine King (Discovery +/HBO) about Britain's biggest ever cocaine trafficker and Megan Thee Stallion vs Tory Lanez: Five Shots (Discovery + / HBO) which delved into the devastating impact of misogynoir and online toxicity, to landmark history films like NASA: Triumph & Tragedy (BBC2) looking back at 50 years of epic NASA space travel. I love shooting impressionistic drama recon to lift and portray the story.

 

I also make ambitious, character-led, unfolding films such as smash hit Drive to Survive (Netflix) relaying all the drama and politics of F1’s trackside.  Extraordinary Twins (ITV) about the difficult decisions parents of conjoined twins have to make and the BAFTA-nominated Operation Live (C5) following every snip and suture of a 2-hour operation. 

​

I've shot around the world from Greenland to Nigeria and enjoy using my Arabic, French, German and Spanish language skills as I travel.

​

As a seasoned cinematographer, I'm adept at creating beautifully lit master IVs, shooting actuality with primes and have an array of tools in my kit from sliders to tilt shift lenses to produce a cinematic look and feel.
