After studying Drama at the University of Bristol I landed my first directing job making a series of short films for Channel 4 about virtual worlds. I’ve gone on to direct and produce a wide range of award winning films for broadcasters including HBO, National Geographic, BBC, Disney and PBS.
Recent Credits include First Contact for the BBC and PBS - a feature documentary about the discovery of extraterrestrial life and A World of Calm which I series directed and featured the voices of Idris Elba, Cillian Murphy and Lucy Liu amongst others. Prior to that I had the incredible pleasure of making Emmy nominated The World According to Jeff Goldblum, scripting and directing the opening episode as well as directing across the series.
Other credits include One Strange Rock, which I helped develop before going on to direct two episodes , Emmy Nominated The Planets: Saturn, Emmy nominated How We Got to Now: Clean, RTS and Grierson winning Oak Tree: Natures Greatest Survivor, Grierson Shortlisted The Secret Life of Chaos, Grierson Nominated Everything and Nothing, Grierson Nominated Order and Disorder, BAFTA nominated Mechanical Marvels: Clockwork Dreams, and The Brain with Dr. David Eagleman
I live in North London with my partner Sophie and daughters Margot and Grace.
