Archive Producing for Film, TV & Commercials

I shape media projects through the creative use of visual archives.

My work spans documentary films, journalistic formats, and commercials.

I am driven by a passion for telling stories from the past — working with historical footage, photography, archival audio, and original documents, and placing them in a compelling narrative context.

Over the past 15 years, I have developed extensive expertise in researching and working with archival material for film productions and commercial projects, with a particular focus on history and sports.

I combine strong editorial judgment with in-depth knowledge of rights and clearance processes, supporting productions from initial research through to final delivery.

In 2024, I was awarded the Jane Mercer Researcher of the Year Award at the FOCAL International Awards.

If you are looking for distinctive archival research or support with footage licensing and rights clearance, please feel free to get in touch.
