About Michelle Bullen

I'm an experienced PD and Edit Producer, used to filming in highly stressful situations - whether that be the physical environment on resuce boats, operating theatres etc, or handling emotionally charged environements - in life or death situations, people with terminal illness or those that have gone through trauma.

My work varies from A&E to cookery, its an eclectic CV but one I'm proud of. On location I like to think

I'm an experienced PD and Edit Producer, used to filming in highly stressful situations - whether that be the physical environment on resuce boats, operating theatres etc, or handling emotionally charged environements - in life or death situations, people with terminal illness or those that have gone through trauma.

My work varies from A&E to cookery, its an eclectic CV but one I'm proud of. On location I like to think I'm calm but with an eye for a story and I also give great consideration to the way footage looks.

I'm experienced with Big Talent, Observational filming and Formats. I am also very experienced in the edit, I very often take my own material through from planning, scripting, shooting to delivery and pick up other directors material in an Edit Producer role. I have worked on First Series helping to shape their form and I've also worked on Episode One Series One - which are always adrenalsing, but can also be exceptionally challenging, as well as breathing new life into established brands.
