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.
