<p>I&#8217;m fascinated by life&#8217;s quirks, and I&#8217;m drawn to strong narratives and unique characters. I suppose my films often tackle evocative and provocative subjects, and always those with a unique take on life.</p> <p>Over the last ten years I&#8217;ve produced and/or directed a variety of films for television, including <span class="caps">MISSING</span> <span class="caps">YOU</span> <span class="caps">ALREADY</span> &amp; RAMSAY’S <span class="caps">KITCHEN</span> <span class="caps">NIGHTMARES</span> for C4, two episodes of <span class="caps">HOLIDAY</span> <span class="caps">SHOWDOWN</span> for <span class="caps">ITV</span> and a film for the first season of the acclaimed <span class="caps">HIDDEN</span> <span class="caps">LIVES</span> documentary strand, <span class="caps">HAVING</span> A <span class="caps">BABY</span> <span class="caps">RUINED</span> MY <span class="caps">LIFE</span>.</p> <p>Throughout, I spent endless time developing new ideas, working at leading factual producers Diverse and Mentorn, and rising to Development Executive for Shine’s Features and Factual Formats department. With a desire to make films that actually make a difference I moved into the independent sector in 2009, as Head of Factual for Montambanco Productions.</p> <p>In 2009, &#8220;<span class="caps">THE</span> <span class="caps">GREAT</span> <span class="caps">DRAG</span> <span class="caps">RACE</span>&#8221; was selected as a finalist for the Wellcome Trust Pitch at Sheffield Doc/Fest, and went on to win the £10k prize. This feature documentary tells the extraordinary story of 10 men with prostate cancer who aim to raise awareness in the most flamboyant way possible, by dressing as women. The feature documentary is now in post -production, and will be completed by late 2010.</p>
