I am a double Emmy Award winning director & producer with over 25 years in the film & television industry. I have been at the creative helm of films for the BBC, ITV, Paramount+, Channel 5, National Geographic, NBC, FOX & the UK Film Council. My latest documentary ‘Who Killed Billie-Jo’ won Best Documentary Series at the 2023 True Crime Awards.

I have directed award-winning commercials, documentaries & branded content for some of the worlds most iconic brands & leading agencies.

I have worked across a wide range of genres, from cars to comedy, from sports to financial services; I’m as comfortable in a green screen studio as I am in some of the world’s most remote locations. And from A-List actors and celebrities to kids, new talent and real people, I bring experience and a collaborative approach to each and every project.

“Our experience of working with David continues to be highly inspiring. The 'can do' attitude we have received has not only resulted in the ultimate success of our combined film projects but taken out the traditional issues of working with challenging directors.

The creative input that David provides really pushes the quality of the outcomes, bringing fresh thinking and a dynamism that avoids many of the typical risks of creating 'me too' films. As we have worked extensively with David on corporate content, this is often one of the toughest genres and the fact we were able to submit for Cannes Corporate film awards presents the calibre we have been able to achieve. 

There is no doubt that we will continue to work with David in advancing better approaches to building truly engaging film content.”

"Clinic have been working with David for many years now. We get him and his team involved as early as possible to explore the various creative approaches and we always leave the initial meeting feeling that the creative idea has been expanded and reassured that budgets have been respected. The whole team is great - super professional and nice guys to be around." 

Zoe Anderson, Account Director - Clinic London Ltd
