About Me
Commercial and documentary director specialising in automotive advertising, premium factual television, action, stunts, celebrity-led documentaries and large-scale international productions.
I like to do fun stuff and have fun doing it.
I'm a director making high-octane commercials, documentaries and premium factual television. One day I'm directing films for global automotive brands, the next I'm making documentaries about farming or longevity science with movie stars.
Available through my full-service production company for end-to-end production, or as a freelance director for agencies, brands and production companies.
Some fun stuff...
I've travelled the world with The Grand Tour watching three old men fall over.
I made Chris Hemsworth walk the plank 1,000 feet above Sydney, then climb a rope hanging 1,000 feet in the air. He still takes my calls.
I've dropped cars and flamingos into a giant bucket for real during the Super Bowl. Had Kaleb save a pint for the FIFA World Cup. Won Britain's Got Talent with the Hawkstone Farmers Choir. Skied three second-hand Jaguars down a mountain. Built a one-kilometre beach buggy cable car in Namibia. Filmed monster truck racing with Idris Elba, skydived with Bear Grylls and mentored kids with David Beckham.
I've filmed the biggest explosion ever on UK soil, organised a 1,600-mile road trip with a crew of 60, another 1,000-mile road trip with a crew of 10, directed second unit movie car chases for Michael Winterbottom, built a world-record-breaking amphibious vehicle, turned a Transit van into a hovercraft, built a bridge over the River Kok and dropped a few tonnes of apples onto a caravan.
