Bio
I secured my first broadcast commission as a director in 2007 after pitching and winning Channel4’s Sheffield Documentary Festival New Directors Scheme. The Murder of Billie Jo: Sion Jenkins Story was broadcast on Channel Four in August 2008. Over two million people watched my next film The Gatwick Baby: Abandoned at Birth when it was shown at 9pm on BBC1 in April 2010. A self-shot documentary, the film was bought by BBC world wide. The Boy Who Wasn’t There was my third attempt at directing. I spent four years (uncommissioned) filming with the family of Sam Hallam, wrongly convicted of murder, up until his acquittal and release in May 2012. While living in Tuscany, I produced a C4 Dispatches about the immigration crisis in Europe and The Secret Life of a Bus Garage for ITV ("a lovely film" The Guardian) As a Location Producer I set up series 1,2 and 3 of The Real Marigold Hotel for the BBC. I made a number of short tribute films with the bereaved families of Grenfell as their commemorations for the Grenfell Tower Inquiry. Following on from that I produced C4 Dispatches "Grenfell: Did the Fire Brigade Fail." My most recent work for BBC2's The Nilsen Files was commended for its forensic journalism as we told the story of the investigation, with a strong focus on the victims.
