I'm a BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning documentary producer, exec producer, editor, script producer, cameraperson and director. I consider myself an all-rounder who likes to make films on any conceivable topic and in any conceivable genre, and I always hope to learn something in the process. I enjoy researching, developing, editing and scripting as much as filming and directing.

Over the past three decades, I've made films about war crimes, genocide, ethnic cleansing, state repression, eugenics and religious extremism;  I've worked with activists fighting FGM in Senegal and the spirit child phenomenon in Ghana, I've explored the art of persecuted female singers in Iran, tackled the fundamental nature of reality with Professor Jim Al Khalili, filmed across conflict-ridden eastern Europe with the Belarus Free Theatre, catalogued the tough lives of transgender people on the streets of Delhi and exposed police brutality in Tunisia. I've filmed on the frontline of the war in Ukraine, investigated the activities of Saddam Hussein's psychotic son Uday inside Iraq in the run up to the 2003 war, filmed undercover inside an international child exploitation gang and investigated a massacre in a village in Kosovo in 1999 with legendary former BBC reporter John Sweeney. I've investigated the dark history of eugenics with disability activist Adam Pearson and uncovered the historical scandal of planned obsolescence with Sean Keaveney. I've also made art and literature documentaries featuring Mark Rylance, David Mitchell, Adrian Lester, Dominic Dromgoole, Al Murray and Sean Foley and I've examined world history and culture with Dr Bettany Hughes. 

I also enjoy working directly with charities and arts organisations to create films about their work. Please look at my pages on Human Rights, Environment, Art and Activism for more details.

I have an MA in English Literature from Cambridge University and I am a fully qualified NCTJ journalist. I can film, direct, edit and do all the post-production needed to make a film from scratch.
