EMMY WINNING SCREENWRITER AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, WORKING IN DRAMA, DRAMA-DOC AND DOCUMENTARY

I developed my storytelling skills through documentary film making - looking at real people with unpredictable emotions and trying to work out what makes them tick. 

​

In documentaries I've been working for Raw, Blast, Pulse, Wall to Wall and Nutopia over the past few years, executive producing series and working as an script consultant, improving storytelling in long running series.

 

Regarding drama, I've most recently written two episodes of the Netflix Series Moses Testament which was Number 1 around the world. Another drama commission is the 8-part Netflix drama series Winter Palace, commissioned by Point Productions and Swiss TV RTS;  American Princess, a 6x45 series for Endor UK and Topkapi in the Netherlands and finally, the adaptation of the award winning graphic novels Once Upon a Time in France for Federation in France and Main Journey in Montreal.

​

I've been producing factual TV for many years and was lucky in that my first drama screenplay won the Oscar Moore Prize. I haven't stopped writing since. 

And as for the story of the old boys standing behind me in the photo, I'll leave it to your imagination.
