I have a wealth of experience producing impactful films focusing on climate change and the environment. I have made films for BBC Countryfile, Springwatch, Channel 4 News, the Ashden environmental and sustainability Awards, Climate & Development Knowledge Network, Ecosystem Services for Poverty Alleviation, environmental charity ‘We Are Possible/10:10’, the World Bank, UNIDO, WFP and the ICRC.
My expertise is in short form, primarily 5–15 minute films, taking complex stories and transforming them into engaging, impactful and emotive films that resonate with target audiences and inspire behaviour change.
My connection to nature and the environment began early in my life and it has continued to shape my values. I grew up in the Sussex countryside on a smallholding with cows, sheep, pigs, chickens and fond memories of my father making his own butter. At the bottom of our fields was a river where I spent plenty of time exploring. This early exposure to nature instilled in me an understanding that we rely on our environment and we must take care of it.
This was made all the more clear whilst living in the Horn of Africa where the state of land, water and the climate directly impacts peoples’ lives. The Ethiopian famine is a story that shocked the world, but my goal when I moved there was not to just report on the challenges, I wanted to focus on the positive stories like climate-friendly farming, renewable energy, biofarms and electric cars.
As a result of these experiences I decided to formalize my knowledge and embarked on six years of part-time study with the Open University and obtained a BSc in Environmental Studies. It is without a doubt one of my greatest personal achievements!
Nature cannot speak for itself and that’s why I continue to tell stories about people doing amazing work. If you need helping telling your story, I would love to help.
Environmental Filmmaker
As an environmental filmmaker, I believe the most powerful stories can inspire people to think differently, act positively and create meaningful change.
With more than 25 years of experience in broadcast journalism and documentary filmmaking, I produce engaging films about climate change, sustainability, conservation and international development. My goal is to transform complex environmental issues into compelling stories that inform, inspire and connect with audiences.
Telling Stories That Make a Difference
I’ve created films for broadcasters, charities and international organisations including BBC Countryfile, Channel 4 News, the World Bank, UNIDO, the World Food Programme (WFP), the ICRC and environmental organisations including We Are Possible (formerly 10:10 Climate Action).
Whether documenting climate-friendly farming, renewable energy, biodiversity, sustainable communities or humanitarian projects, I focus on the people behind the story and the positive impact they are making.
Environmental Films with Purpose
My expertise lies in producing short-form films that communicate complex topics with clarity and emotion. From initial research and story development through to filming, directing and editing, I manage the complete production process to create films that engage audiences and encourage action.
Working as a self-shooting producer/director allows me to remain agile while delivering broadcast-quality films in challenging locations across the UK and internationally.
Backed by Experience
My passion for environmental storytelling began long before I picked up a camera. Growing up in the Sussex countryside sparked a lifelong connection with nature, which later led me to complete a BSc in Environmental Studies alongside my journalism career.
Living and working across Africa also deepened my understanding of how climate, land and natural resources directly affect people’s lives and livelihoods. These experiences continue to shape the stories I choose to tell and the organisations I work with.
Alongside my practical filmmaking experience, I also hold a Master’s degree in Media Practice for Development and Social Change, giving me a strong understanding of communicating environmental and humanitarian issues to diverse audiences.
