Working Lives: Documentary film-maker
What does the job involve?
A documentary film-maker is trying to capture the essence of real life in cinematic form.
What was your route into film-making?
I left university with a history degree and started as a runner for Roger Graef’s company, Films of Record. He was a great man and it was an incredible place to work. I worked my way up from runner to researcher to assistant producer to finally getting a producer/director gig.
