I was shooting series director across all 10 episodes of Air Warriors for Smithsonian, and also wrote and edit produced 2 episodes about the C47 Dakota and Mosquito.
I conducted all the interviews including the sole surviving 102 year old D-Day pathfinder pilot. I filmed the contemporary sequences with the WW2 airborne display teams two C47’s in Oklahoma and the only currently flying Mosquito in California. I also filmed all the air to air sequences and drama re-enactments.
6x60 hosted science series about biomimicry. Filmed and lead a team of 5 for a 2 month shoot across mainland US and Hawaii.

Fast turn-around documentary about the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano. I filmed volcanologist Nick Petford landing on the volcano as it was erupting. 50 min documentary shot, edited and transmitted within 2 weeks of the eruption.
Discovery Channel International.

As one of the two directors I had a team of up to 20 working to me including producers, builders and camera crew. I was given a brief for the experiment or stunt and we had two weeks to film each episode.
Working with the hosts and producers, I would decide how we were going to both tell the story and technically achieve each goal.
Being experimental science things rarely went to plan, and as we had a hard two-week deadline we had to continually adapt accordingly. It was my responsibility as the director to ensure we got each episode shot on time.
Fast turn-around documentary filmed in Hawaii.
Produced and directed YouTube series about the fastest motorbike in the world, attempting to exceed 400mph, on the biggest salt flat in the world, 12,000ft up in the Bolivian Andes.
In addition to this Youtube series I’ve now directed four broadcast documentaries about land speed racing. Filming these events is technically and logistically very complex, the machines go over 500mph, and the race tracks are up to 15 miles long.
Ongoing development project.
For the last 5 years I have been following the construction, development and first flight of an exact replica of the Spirit of St Louis and the quest by pilot Robert Ragozzino to re-enact Lindberg’s epic solo crossing of the Atlantic.
