Building a reputation as a true creative with empathy Hugh Clarke is working constantly in the Not-for-Profit and Charity space. With his ability to produce heartfelt stories that impact the viewer and that often demand sensitivity whilst working with people in vulnerable circumstances.
Hugh leant his trade as a community TV producer working for a Church and these elements of faith and community permeate his work.
His own life experience of growing up without a father and with a mother with mental illness allows Hugh to embrace stories that are filled with the sheer brokenness of life and yet still exude echoes of hope in amidst the cracks.
