I tell stories of sport and adventure that are thought provoking, authentic and inspiring. In a genre that is male dominated and often follows a similar narrative, my films tell a more nuanced and personal story.

    Danielle Sellwood is a self-taught documentary maker, specifically working with women, the disabled community, and older people.
    Her passion for filmmaking was born from frustration over the lack of diverse representation in sports and adventure films, so, six years ago, she picked up a camera and set to work to redress the balance. She has since had several short films selected for film festivals around the world.
    Alongside this, Danielle is an expert in making content and film accessible via open captions and audio description. Before working in film, Danielle spent many years as a designer and trend forecaster in the sports industry. In 2008 she co-founded Sportsister, a trail-blazing sports website for women and directed visual campaigns at Women's Sport Trust (WST) helping create lasting change in the representation of female athletes.
    She is a former GB canoeist and now enjoys many sports recreationally, including swimming, cycling and surfing.
