About Landmark Film School
Intelligent, affordable courses led by an industry professional
I’ve been a documentary film-maker most of my working life – an enormous privilege. I love film: I’m interested in people who live different lives to me and I’ve seen and filmed so many strange, inspiring, humbling, extraordinary, alarming or just plain ludicrous things.
I really enjoy passing on some of the joys of documentary to others – as well as a realistic insight into life in this strange industry. At my company, Landmark Films, we made great TV with wonderful colleagues but we also built a calm, kind, efficient, nurturing, fun workplace where people thrived. I want to continue that spirit with Landmark Film School.
Nowadays, I teach directing, camerawork and interviewing regularly for the National Film and Television School, Screenskills, BBC Academy, Universities of Oxford, Falmouth, Southampton Solent and University of the Arts London. I film stuff for Oxford University to keep my eye in. I love the enthusiasm of learners and I’m delighted to be able to pass on useful, practical knowledge derived from real-life film-making to help people work confidently, effectively and stylishly.
Above all, filming documentary isn’t really about camera menu settings and technical stuff – it’s a people business and our courses place a unique emphasis on managing the human side of filming to help get great results from your contributors and your colleagues.
