Factual
I love factual films. I've been fortunate to create documentary packages for the BBC, Houses of Parliament, Historic Royal Palaces, London Legacy Development Corporation. My longer-form work includes projects for the W.H.O, Solar Aid, Global Library of Women's Medicine, Medical Aid Films as well as numerous pieces for charities, arts organisations and publications.
These projects are typically self-shot and edited, often with a small crew and then edited in-house.
