Producing

I have produced programmes for all the major broadcasters, received a B.A.F.T.A nomination and five awards from the British Medical Council for health related documentaries. I have also produced network and corporate commercials, web films and training films for major brands including learndirect, Peplan and the RSPCA. Currently I have a number of projects in development including a feature film with director Rachel Tillotson.

Directing

I started my directing career in the theatre. I won the Royal Shakespeare Buzz Goodbody Directors Awards and directed shows at the Soho Poly, Riverside Studios and Royal Court, amongst others. I was Artistic Director of Common Stock Theatre Company, leaving this post to pursue a career in television. I have directed network documentaries and dramas including Hollyoaks and Brookside.

Writing

Plays performed at Soho Ploy, Cafe Theatre and Riverside studios, documentaries for network broadcasters and development monies from Channel Four for a drama series. Equally at home writing for the corporate sector I have worked for leading brands in a variety of styles from training films to web commercials. Most recently I wrote the drama based instructional DVD that accompanies Canon's new EOS camera.
