Film Production
I’ve been making films for over 20 years and using visual storytelling and a close attention to character and narrative to bring topics, stories, lives and humanitarian issues to new audiences. I’ve travelled to India, Kenya, Cambodia, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Morocco and Peru as a filmmaker as well as working in my native UK and currently Sweden.
Working for many years as a freelancer I developed skills across the whole production process, working in the research, scripting, planning, budgeting, shooting, post-production, delivery and distribution of the films I make.
Vaccine Safety
The COVID-19 pandemic saw the need for the WHO Programme for International Drug Monitoring to focus on strengthening vaccine surveillance systems globally and improving the collection and analysis of data on adverse reactions following immunisation. This film tells that story.
