Wildlife & Conservation

I’ve been making films in this space for over a decade, most recently specialising in digital, short form and live productions for the BBC’s Natural History Unit in Bristol, UK. I’ve worked with clients including Wellcome, Earthrise and Copa90 to deliver high impact films on a range of environmental and climate issues, which have been carefully designed not only to educate audiences but to inspire them into action.

Outside of my work on impact campaigns, I’ve made films on tree-climbing lions for PBS, 24-hour live broadcasts for Springwatch, and shorts with Sir David Attenborough for BBC Earth.

You can view a selection of the films I’ve worked on for the BBC below. I’d be very happy to discuss any projects that you have in mind in this space, as well as to provide additional examples of my work across other projects and platforms.

  • Have You Ever Heard of a Fish Bank?

    Have You Ever Heard of a Fish Bank?

    In Kuruwitu, Kenya, locals have taken innovative measures to protect depleted fish populations and damaged corals.

I produced this short film, which formed part of the #OurPlanetEarth impact campaign on BBC Earth.

  • The Surprising Benefits of Whale Poo

    The Surprising Benefits of Whale Poo

    Whales make vast migrations around our planet. As they do so, they make significant contributions to the wellbeing of ocean ecosystems. But with many species of whale endangered due to human impacts on the ocean, the work of these great ocean gardeners may be lost without our protection. I produced this short film, which formed part of the #OurPlanetEarth impact campaign on BBC Earth.

  • Pantanal: Wildfires in a Wildlife Haven

    Pantanal: Wildfires in a Wildlife Haven

    Over 17 million animals died in the Pantanal wildfires of 2020, but many lives were saved by the people who worked tirelessly to save this unique ecosystem. I produced and edited this short film, which formed part of the #OurFrozenPlanet impact campaign on BBC Earth.

  • Harp Seal Pups are Losing their Homes

    Protecting Kenya's Elephants

    Droughts, caused by our planet's changing climate, are threatening the livelihoods of local people, and making food and water harder to find.

  • Are Arctic Bees in Trouble?

    Are Arctic Bees in Trouble?

    Warming climates are causing Lapland bumblebees to change their behaviours. But why is this happening - and what are the wider implications for our planet? I edit produced this short film, which formed part of the #OurFrozenPlanet impact campaign on BBC Earth.

  • The Weird Reasons Africa’s Lions Are Climbing Trees

    The Weird Reasons Africa’s Lions Are Climbing Trees

    Leopards spend a lot of time up trees, with some of them even hunting from above. What’s less common is seeing lions and cheetahs up in the branches.

    Dive with Giant Manta Rays in Mexico in 3D 360

    What’s it like to dive alongside ocean giants?
