About me: Experienced production manager. I have enjoyed working on a variety of programmes including light entertainment, archive & news. I have worked with big budgets and have worked under the constraints of very small budgets. I am experienced in all aspects of clearing programme material such as UCG footage, newspapers, stills, artwork, archive and the copyright issues related.
I have enjoyed production managing many comedy shows including `They Think It’s All Over`, `Smack the Pony` , ’The Morgana Show’ , ’Rude Tube’ and ‘Women on the Verge’.
In addition to my experience on comedy/entertainment shows, I have worked on factual entertainment shows and documentaries for such companies as Angel Eye Media, Blink Films and October Films with subjects as diverse as the Fashion Designer Christopher Kane, a three part documentary on the collapse of the banking system and a three part series on the similarities of humans to apes.
Most recently I have worked on ’Queen of the Universe’ a large, drag queen singing competition with a studio audience, have set up a C4 fact ent show set around the world of antiques and have just finished a 6 part documentary series for Channel 5 called ’Building the Impossible’.
Genre: Comedy, Factual Entertainment, Light Entertainment, Multi camera Studio, Observational Documentary
