Work with me
I bring the same documentary approach to different kinds of briefs — television, institutions, schools, organisations and commercial clients.
The starting point is always the same: understand the world properly, find the people and stories that matter, and make something audiences actually want to watch.
My work can begin with an existing brief or with a blank sheet of paper. Idea and project creation are at the heart of the way I work: research the subject, identify the opportunity, secure access, find the right contributors, shape the story and format, then assemble the production team and take the project through filming, edit and delivery.
What I do
Television + Documentary
Authored and popular documentaries, access-led films and factual series for broadcasters and production companies.
Development · Research · Access · Casting · Producer-directing · Self-shooting · Interviews · Story structure · Series and format development · Edit
Institutions + Schools
Documentary-led films and ideas for schools, universities, charities, cultural organisations and institutions that want to communicate what makes them distinctive without sounding institutional.
Films and series · Admissions and recruitment · People and place stories · Cultural projects · Events and exhibitions · Website films · YouTube · Social content
Business + Commercial
High-quality, non-corporate work for businesses, brands, places and organisations with a real story to tell. The aim is to build reputation and attract the right audience without reducing the work to conventional corporate messaging.
Commissioned documentaries · Brand and founder films · People stories · Creative development · Strategic storytelling · Visual direction · Campaign ideas · Website films · YouTube · Social and digital content
Creative Development
I can work on the film, or on the idea before the film exists. That may mean identifying a story or opportunity inside an organisation, creating the project, developing the format, finding collaborators, or working out how one central idea can extend across film, digital, press, events or exhibitions.
The Method
IDEA → RESEARCH → ACCESS → STORY → FORMAT → CREATIVE COLLABORATION →PRODUCTION → AUDIENCE
My approach is observational but highly editorial. I look for character, humour, tension, contradiction and insight — the details that make a world feel real and alive rather than manufactured or corporate.
Freedom Road Films is the production home for this work, bringing together filmmakers, producers, editors, designers, photographers and other creative collaborators around each project.
