I'm an experienced and versatile Producer/Director and Edit Producer with a passion for issue led, emotionally engaging, character driven observational film-making ('Toughest Place to Be a Miner', BBC2 / 'Amir Khan's Angry Young Men', Ch4 / 'Duchess in Hull', BBC2 / 'Home Is Where The Heart Is', ITV). I'm a fully trained and hugely experienced broadcast cameraman (1000 hrs+, currently Z7 own/op). I have a wide range of proven production skills (producing complex shoots often overseas, self shooting / directing crew and talent, scripting/edit producing, researching/developing and editing in FCP). I always get the best out of my contributors, thrive in the creativity of the edit, am adaptable to any situation and quickly become a valued member of a team. I'm enthusiastic, creative and professional in my approach to every working day. As all my references will testify... You Need Me on Your Production!
