Happy New Year!
I hope that everyone is well. How was your January? It was a tough one for me too, but now the year is into full swing I’ve had time to put together some highlights from the last year.
1 - Television documentary series aired
At the start of the year my first television documentary I assisted shooting and producing aired on Channel 5. You can still see the episode about people living and working on the river Po on my5.tv.
2 - Sheffield International Doc Fest 2021
Over the summer, Sheffield Documentary Festival 2021 chose me as an “up and coming talent” in broadcast. What an honour!
3 - University of Birmingham commission
I was commissioned by the Institute of Applied Health Research at the University of Birmingham to make a short documentary about their research into the mental health of junior doctors in the NHS. I created a communications plan for them, and created a film from scratch. From their base Twitter following of circa 100 followers, the communications plan attracted over 10,000 views to the film within 24 hours and was shared shared by Adam Kay and Every Doctor. It also secured a dedicated national news article about the film and study.
4 & 5 - Other highlights included shooting and producing for a National Geographic documentary series (coming to National Geographic international and Channel 4 this year!), and being featured by the European Activism Incubator. The Incubator interviewed me on my career so far making films that have an impact. You can watch the interview online.
What’s next? My goal is to continue telling stories that matter through film and video! I’ve got lots of ideas on how to continue to improve my services and to reach more people. I can’t wait to share it with you!
I am now taking bookings for projects from now until end of April 2022. If you or someone you know has an upcoming film or video project you want to talk about, I’d love to chat.
