Film Forward 2023 Participant - Production Manager, Film

I am a creative and flexible unscripted TV line producer with over 18 years’ experience making specialist factual and factual documentaries across a range of genres including arts, music and history. My passion for production management arose from producing student dance shows at the Bloomsbury Theatre, London. I started in TV as a freelancer, without formal training, learning on the job and honed my skills at the BBC working on award winning series such as Timewatch, The Nazis – A Warning from History, and Omnibus. After 12 years at the BBC, I transferred back to the freelance sector to widen my repertoire, working on highly acclaimed projects such as The Trump Show and Planet Sex with Cara Delevingne.

I would like to bring my production management skills to film to fulfil a dream sparked by attending the Saturday morning film club at my local cinema from the age of 8.
