A Documentary Director’s Field Notes
Welcome to my blog featuring practical writing on documentary directing, pitching and commissioning, kit that earns its place in the bag, and video for businesses. Mostly the things I wish someone had told me earlier.
Principal Ballerina is my most recent directorial credit, following my Channel 5 series Love Nature (2026) and BBC One documentary Chasing Gold (2023).
I’m a Belfast-based documentary filmmaker and videographer specialising in observational, character-led broadcast documentary.
