About
I'm an English fixer, shooting producer and journalist. I've lived in Rio De Janeiro for 17 years, working in international TV production. I've produced content for major international broadcasters all over Brazil, including the various productions in the Amazon. I'm focussed, resourceful and highly efficient. I also work hard to ensure that I create a successful and enjoyable shoot for my clients. As well as making sure you enjoy Brazil and all its riches.
I've produced/fixed for the BBC, ITV, Discovery US, ZDF UNILEVER, Samsung, DAZN, Gates Foundation etc. I have also freelanced for Chinese channel CGTN for the last 12 years (as both producer and journalist), producing factual content and coordinating their coverage of Rio 2016 Olympics and FIFA 2014. I've worked on many award-winning productions - and we recently won Brazil's top award for the best documentary of 2024.
In Brazil I field produce or fix on documentaries, reality, commercials and branded content. My career in the UK, before I came to Brazil, was as a D.O.P. and I shot many award-winning drama series and documentaries. We won an EMMY, BAFTAs and other awards.
I have a wide network of contacts all over Brazil - including academics, experts, local fixers and English-speaking crew. And contacts within several Indigenous tribes. I also have an intimate knowledge of Brazilian culture, anthropology and environmental issues. Through my Brazilian production company, we can organise all necessary filming and legal permissions.
I've recently produced 2 documentaries and two TV series in the Amazon. These include award-winning cinema documentary "Eating Our Way To Extinction", narrated by Kate Winslet. And TV documentary "Brazil: Jungle Battlegrounds". (See my portfolio)
I'm passionate about my work, and my aim is to facilitate the success of your production.
