I'm a highly versatile and award winning director and producer who's crafted stylish films with visual flair for more than 20 years. I make both documentaries and drama, writing all of my own work.
I have extensive experience in true crime, and am currently
producing and directing two films for the new and highly anticipated NETFLIX series I Am a Stalker.
My previous work comprises drama documentaries, history films, observational documentaries and popular science, including
two films for the much celebrated and BAFTA nominated James May’s Toy Stories for the BBC.
Occasionally my films deal with difficult subject matter. The critically acclaimed drama Escape from Auschwitz, which was shortlisted at NY Festivals tells the incredible story of the incarceration and getaway of two prisoners from the Nazi's death camp. My feature length film Mid Air Collision Over Britain, dramatises the chilling ‘what if’ scenario of two passenger jets colliding over southeast England. And the harrowing feature length, Cine Golden Eagle award winning observational documentary Treblinka: Hitler's Killing Machine, follows the work of forensic archaeologist Dr Caroline Sturdy-Colls as she uncovers the previously unknown location of Treblinka's gas chambers and unmarked mass graves.
In 2013, I co-founded Snap TV, a London based production company, where among other projects I series directed the exciting 10 part global culinary adventure Ainsley Eats the Streets.
Producing engaging content for the global television market, my work has been screened on NETFLIX, Amazon, Disney+, BBC, Channel 4, Sky, Discovery Networks, National Geographic, Smithsonian Channel, Channel 5 and PBS to name but a few.
I am based in both London and Toronto, and work with international co-producers and production companies in the UK, Canada and the United States.
