A bit about me...
This is me in Rajasthan, in my finest work clothes. I worked for five years in South Asia making films and reports for the BBC and numerous others. I have also lived in France, Central America and the Caribbean and have filmed extensively in Africa - Chad, Rwanda, Ghana, Kenya. I am now living in Manchester (UK) where I make and present radio docs for the BBC, teach documentary to some wonderfully talented filmmakers at the Northern Film School and work on film and radio projects.
As hot as it looks. Filming in Rajasthan, India for the BBC.
Reporting and Documentary work
I produce long and short form documentary and reportage; I've worked as a producer, presenter, DoP, editor and camera operator. I've reported on some long -simmering conflicts, but am particularly drawn to human rights issues, development and social justice.
Reporting for the BBC from Ghana's Agbogbloshie Beach: the most polluted place on the planet. Behind me, young men and boys burn European electronic waste to extract metals they sell for a pittance. The fumes they are breathing in contain Lead and Cadmium and are slowly killing them.
Films for International Organisations and NGOs
I've produced many films for international organisations and civil society. Clients include the United Nations (ITU, UNHCR), Council of Europe, European Commission, Obama Foundation and many others
It's all about the people you meet
The secret to telling the story of your organisation's work on the ground is humanising its impact.
