About Lucy

  • Share profile:
I am a hard working AP with credits in high profile one-off documentaries, documentary series and short form news programming. I enjoy working on a variety of different factual genres, including politics and current affairs, history, music, culture & the media.

I am experienced in the entire production process, from developing innovative and 'workable' story ideas, conducting in-depth research, sourcing contributors, recceing locations, finding and clearing archive and music, fact-checking, completing programme deliverables and arranging press materials and screenings.

• Archive research and clearance, including news sources and user-generated material, for large and small budgets
• Working with talent, contributors and actors, including in high-profile, sensitive and fast-turnaround situations
• Setting up shoots in the UK and abroad, including sourcing crew, equipment, locations and props
