I am a documentary film maker based in Oxford. I specialise in films from remote areas across the world, from the jungles of Papua New Guinea to the mountains of Mongolia. I have directed six episodes of Unreported World for Channel 4, in Nigeria, Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya, Mauritania and Israel. I’ve also directed six episodes of People and Power for Al Jazeera on a wide variety of subjects, from AI, drones in warfare, Bitcoin and over tourism in Europe.
I have also produced and directed a Dispatches for Channel 4 on the Covid vaccine roll out, and have made films for a variety of other clients, including the BBC, ITV and PBS.
I’ve been nominated for numerous awards, including the Bayeux Prix award for war correspondents to the Rory Peck awards.
From May 2013 until February 2015 I was the South East Asia TV correspondent for Agence France Presse. During this time I covered the coup in Thailand, the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, as the well as the football World Cup in Brazil.
Before moving to Bangkok I spent three years in Nairobi, covering the biggest news stories across Africa, from the wars in Congo and Somalia, to the African Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea. Although I was working mainly for AFP, I also worked for Sky News, France 24, CBC and numerous radio stations.
