Creative and reliable PD/EP with a recent background making history, science, music and biography programmes, often with a drama element. A natural communicator, I'm calm, personable and an asset to any production for my ability to absorb stress and deliver on time, whatever the challenges.
Shooting P/D Pompeii: Life in a Roman Town (Crime and Punishment episode) I directed one of four episodes for this upcoming social history series about Roman Pompeii presented by Dan Snow and Kate Lister. Researched and wrote full script, produced two week shoot on location in Italy, self shot on SonyFX6/A7S across all four films and worked with a graphic artist to create AI scenes of Roman life.
