Frontline Cops - ITV
, United Kingdom
2012 - Producer/Director (Self-shooting)
I was one of three self-shooting PDs for this new action packed police series about the Essex special forces unit- presented by Rav Wilding.
Most of my efforts were spent on gaining the trust of police officers in order to reveal the person behind the uniform as well as finding the perfect balance between high-speed chases, forced entries on raids and the human element of each storyline.
Other responsibilities included producing the on screen talent, shooting in difficult and sometimes dangerous circumstances and adhering to privacy laws.

Driving me Crazy - Renegade
, United Kingdom
2011 - Producer/Director
Brand new format commission for the launch of Discovery TLC in Europe.
Two friends embark on a 5 day journey across the beautiful British country side in a VW
campervan. The twist- one is teaching the other how to drive. I was involved in preproduction
by choosing a route that would challenge both the teacher and the driver and selecting great characters. The challenge for this show was to produce enticing storylines
ranging from sheer comedy to heart breaking by highlighting the emotional journey behind
each contributor. I directed multi-cameras shots on location and rigged go-pros cameras and oversaw the production team.
