DEVELOPMENT

Before becoming a Director, I worked extensively in development for leading production companies. I’ve got a strong track record of generating ideas, gaining access to institutions, finding stories, securing exclusive interviews and pitching.

I still have an active slate of ideas which I pitch directly to commissioners or farm out to different indies.

Some of the commissioned projects I’ve originated or developed include:

Lucy Worsley’s Merry Tudor Christmas, BBC2 1 x 60’

• Originated idea and developed to commission.

Women Who Kill, Channel 4, 2 x60’

• Originated idea and developed to commission. After securing access to female murderers across 4 US states, went on to produce and edit produce the series.
