I have had more than 10 years experience making documentaries and series that deal with subject matter that is often sensitive, multi layered and extraordinary and I have often found myself in delicate situations where a calm, considered and warm approach is crucial.
I’ve filmed with the state prosecution in Bosnia as they uncover a mass grave, with a young Muslim girl looking for a life partner arranged by her Mum and with a woman as she reports her experience of domestic violence to the police.
As a competent observational self-shooter, I am committed to setting a unique visual style for my projects through using prime lenses, and therefore creating a distinct story telling voice
My first film – Disabled and Looking for Love won the Grierson Bloomberg Newcomer Award and since then my work has been short-listed for the Grierson Best Documentary Series, RTS Education and has been BAFTA Nominated.
I’ve also got a proven track record of working with high profile talent - Sally Philips, Anne Robinson and Tony Slattery.
