Producer/Director, Director

About Barny Revill

• I'm a Series Producer / Director with a lot of experience in the field, particularly remote and extreme environments.
• I've directed and self shot on Mount Everest, in the Amazon, the Simpson Desert, the Congo Basin and beneath the North Pole on a Royal Navy Nuclear submarine.
• I have worked with a range of presenters (celebrity and new) both scripting and directing their performances in some very challenging conditions.
• Clips from my shows have gone viral and now total some 200million views.
• I've recently been exploring the commercial world and I'm loving the way this is expanding my creative output and connecting me with new talent.
• I am passionate about story telling and love the interaction of people, information and emotion.
• I am continually developing ideas for all genres of programmes and I am always looking to learn, be it in a creative, intellectual or artistic capacity.

QUOTES:
"the highest rated series in Animal Planet history" River Monsters

"the network's best-performing series premiere ever" Animal Planet US press release, River Monsters - Piranha.

"terrific series... this should do for rivers and lakes what Jaws did for the sea, especially the Piranha episode" DVD Review 2010

"Grimly compelling series... a treat for the eyes. It is, frankly, compulsive viewing in a gruelling kind of way." The Times, Everest - Beyond the Limit.

"Extraordinary television... the story is suspenseful and spine-tingling - I found myself out of breath, squeezing the armrests of my recliner... don't miss it." Denver Post, Everest - Beyond the Limit.

"Dazzling, jawdropping television" Daily Telegraph, Deep Jungle.

"Another in the brilliant Secrets of Egypt series" Daily Express, Sphinx.
