He has made 24 films for all the major UK broadcasters, won over 40 International awards, was listed in the New York Times Best Films list for the “The English Surgeon”, and his last two feature documentaries sold widely, had theatrical releases and screened at hundreds of film festivals across the world.

He is passionate about the power of documentary to reach wide audiences and to help change the world, and works intensely with directors and producers to get the very best out of their ideas and material.
