Executive Producer

Ambitious productions, in steady hands.

Some productions are straightforward. The interesting ones never are. For ten years I've brought together the people, budgets and creative ambition that get demanding work made for brands, streamers and storytellers. If you're making something hard, I'd love to help add value.

Selected work

A few I'm proud of, and the kind I'm built for.

What I bring to a production
01

I protect the idea

Briefs shift and budgets tighten. I find the version that still gets made, without losing what mattered.

02

I simplify the complex

Many locations, big crews, tight windows. I turn a daunting plan into a calm, clear one.

03

I build trust on set

People do their best work when they feel safe. I create that room, and they come back.

04

I deliver at scale

From a Netflix docuseries to national campaigns, I hold the logistics so the creative can be bold.

05

I care about the final frame

How a film gets made shapes what it becomes. I sweat the details all the way to the master.

Filmography

Find the work that's closest to what you're making.

I produce films for a living, and I've learned that the productions worth doing are rarely the simple ones. What I'm good at is holding the hard parts steady, the budget, the logistics, the people, so the idea on the page reaches the screen intact.

I've never thought the logos were the point. The point is that production is a creative act, and how a film gets made shapes what it becomes.

How I got here

First

Hospitality

Hotel management, then Starwood, Marriott and show-running MTV Project AloftStar. Where I learned to anticipate every need and stay unflappable.

Then

Production

Into film, producing ad films, branded content and independent projects, with award-winning work for Reebok, Uber and UCB.

Now

Executive Production

Carrying the whole machine: budgets, teams, multi-market delivery, and the creative call on how it comes together.

Curiosity doesn't switch off after the shoot. These are the projects I build for the love of it, with room for more to come.

Quiz Pro Quo

A night built around the old-fashioned pleasure of curiosity, trivia, debate, and the kind of conversation that only happens when smart, playful people are in the same room. The same instinct that makes me a good producer, wanting to know how everything works and bringing people together, is the whole point here.

Photos and upcoming editions, coming soon.

More ventures will live here over time.

Whether it's a production, a consulting brief, an event, a community project, or something that doesn't fit neatly into a category, I'd love to hear about it. Tell me what you're working on and I'll come back to you quickly.
