Communications Team Oxford City Council St Aldate's Chamber, St. Aldate's Oxford OX1 1BXDistributorCountry: WorldwideRights: All Rights
Award winning filmmaker, first break in television was in 1984 with the then new Channel 4's Eleventh Hour, Youth Series 'Turn It Up'. Went on to train at Newport Film School, The National Film and Television School and in the cutting rooms of BBC Wales and Tyne Tees Television. Specialized from 2003 - 2010 in running media projects with young people with physical and learning disabilities.
During 2010 to 2018 was a freelance filmmaker, project manager and media tutor. Working with charities, corporate organizations, educational establishments, individuals and community groups with a particular interest in social history and archaeology.
In August 2018 was offered the exciting opportunity to join the Communications Team at Oxford City Council in the UK.
I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to document the Oxford’s Citizens Assembly on Climate Change. I was able to complete two factual documentation films on the event and process. Also live stream the two weekends in September and October. This was a first for me and a huge learning experience.
The videos have had a life outside of the assembly and continue to promote discussion and debate.
