I am a British journalist and filmmaker with over a decade of experience working across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East, combining a robust factual grounding with creative and immersive storytelling. Whether it's producing and directing my own work overseas, working as a specialist field producer in the UK or leading crews during international productions, I have an excellent track record of securing specialist access, covering sensitive issues and working with vulnerable contributors, often in high-stakes places at war or in crisis. Clients include the BBC, Channel 4 News, National Geographic, The New York Times, The Guardian, Al Jazeera English, The Washington Post and NBC News. My work has been backed by the Pulitzer Center and shortlisted at the RTS, Bayeux Calvados, Amnesty, One World and other top awards. I am adept at developing new projects, managing productions and directing crews in the field. I can craft narratives, script voice-overs and supervise post-production during edits, grades and audio mixes. Enterprising, good humoured and judicious when on assignment, I am committed to reporting safely in hostile environments and well-practiced at working in high-risk areas. From embeds with Russia-backed militias to stateless Kurdish footballers, South Sudanese refugees and Central African wildlife rangers on patrol - or just securing that key interview with a crucial eyewitness before the live broadcast deadline - my work highlights the human element of any story, capturing difficult issues with beautiful cinematography and taking viewers on new and surprising journeys.

Fiercely loyal to Vladimir Putin, the Night Wolves are Russia’s largest and most notorious biker gang. Their base in Luhansk, eastern Ukraine, resembles a set from Mad Max. Inside this stronghold, the Night Wolves open up about the families they left behind
Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, what constitutes as victory has changed for Putin as battlefield failures mount. Gaining ground in the Donbas is all the more important to Moscow. It's where the bloodiest battles are being fought. Front-line communities are caught in the crossfire, with constant shelling and increasingly harsh conditions as winter sets in. This observational film shadows the firefighters of Toretsk who rescue wounded civilians from the places the paramedics won’t go.
