Biography

I'm an award-winning UK-based filmmaker with a passion for telling human stories through a powerful, intimate, and sensitive lens. Over the course of my career, I've produced and directed more than 30 premium and prime-time documentaries, with a further 30 credits as executive producer. My work has aired on the BBC, Channel 4, and ITV, and streamed globally via Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV.

Often described as a doyenne of observational filmmaking, my signature style blends striking, award-winning cinematography with compelling access and emotionally rich interviews. From society's most vulnerable to its most privileged, I'm drawn to subjects that reveal the nuance and complexity of the human experience.

My debut film won the Broadcasting Press Guild Award for Best Documentary, while Amish: A Secret Life -a portrait of an Old Order Amish family in America-garnered two BAFTAs. I had access to Camila Batmanghelidjh for the extraordinary BBC film, Inside Kids Company. My 2018 film on a fallen billionaire was shortlisted for the Grierson Award for Most Entertaining Documentary.
