About

Recently completed a TV Trilogy in demonstrating the capacity to re-apply journalistic skills:Mr Brown’s Boys - a Royal Television Society award winning football documentary which, ahead of the 2021 Euros, took a wistful look back at Scotland’s most recent previous appearance at a major championship 23 years earlierThe Last Stone - 20th anniversary tribute to the British team’s fondly remembered victory in what was then considered the obscure sport of curling at the 2002 Olympics Giving It Stick - an observational documentary broadcast in 2023, which followed the most successful clubs in the wild world of Scotland’s most iconic sport, shinty, through a momentous season.I also helped Urbancroft Films win a commissioning budget from SKY for a documentary project in what was a hotly contested bidding process and had some fun undertaking the research on ‘Spooked Scotland’. Dipping a toe in the world of television filmmaking, in particular working closely with BAFTA winning directors Jack Cocker and Greg Clark, has been an enjoyable way of redeploying those skills developed in my previous career. It had taken me all over the world and, while I have consequently been saddened by what feels like the terminal decline of print journalism, it has been reassuring to discover that there are still outlets for the type of storytelling I am interested in.
