I am a freelance producer who has worked across international news and current affairs in the UK and the Middle East. I have a track record of producing exciting and compelling news stories for local, national and international broadcasters. I have previously worked on programmes for On Assignment with Richard Engel an hour-long news magazine show broadcast in America on MSNBC. Some of my duties included research, pre-interviews, location scouting, finding strong editorial lines, selecting best footage and writing draft scripts. I worked with Al Jazeera English in the Doha bureau as a producer on their 24-hour rolling news channel. I wrote scripts, cut packages and sourced and edited vision. I covered a wide range of global news stories. I have previously freelanced at NBC News for three years. In that time, I have worked as an Associate Producer on multiple platforms, working with Producers to deliver spots for Nightly News and TODAY. Amongst my responsibilities I also field produce for both programmes, conducting pre-production, location scouting, organising cameras and equipment and assisting in the final edit. I have also live produced for weekend TODAY. I have extensive experience with Avid and Premiere Pro editing software, and I am confident filming and editing autonomously. I regularly use Canon XF205, Canon C100 and Canon EOS 750D cameras. In addition, I am fully versed in NBC News’ internal workflow, including iNews, Avid Interplay Assist and media transfer systems. As a freelance video producer, I have filmed and edited my own content for Press Association, Metro.co.uk and Evening Standard online, including interviews with UK leaders and influencers. I have experience working in the field both alongside a correspondent as well as by myself as a one-man-band. I am comfortable working dynamically across a range of topics, from red-carpets, to political rallies.

Isla has a curiosity for people and the quiet stories that surround us. Her work challenges cultural stigmas through creating atmospheric, semi-autobiographical art and filmmaking that merge documentary and fiction to question conventions and defy stereotypes. Isla captures the overlooked flickers of everyday life and presents them in a cinematic way for audiences to rediscover the unexpected beauty in familiar places and people, and to inspire others to slow down and take notice of the lives of those around them. Having been awarded funding in the UK and Denmark, her art and filmmaking explores experiences of mental health, isolated communities, gender identity and hidden cultures. Isla has directed, developed, funded, produced and distributed international documentary and fiction films such as an impact film on child illiteracy, H is for Harry, a feature on religious tolerance in Sierra Leone for Danish TV (DR3), to the fictionalised memories of a WW1 nurse in ‘Testament of Youth’. Isla's experience developing and investigating real human stories indicates her humanistic and collaborative approach to projects.

I am keen on both human stories and anthropology related ones. In the human side, I prefer stories about people who make a difference or are simply bizarre. As for the social stories, I like looking at groups of people through a camera lens; the inhabitants of a small town by the seaside and their location's history, their traditions, their Nature and everything that makes them unique; the representatives of a Freemasonry lodge and their reasons to be, their goals or their gatherings; I am interested in social stories and their impact on Society as well and a long etcetera. Wherever and whenever there is a good story with someone to give us a personal point of view and an analyst who gives an in-depth side to a topic, I shall be there covering the event. Thanks for your kind attention and for your time.

Hello there! I'm Ciaran, a professional Shooting Video Producer with heaps of experience in crafting and delivering TV formats, Digital & Commercial content across a range of platforms. Having spent my career in London working full-time in Video Producer roles, I am now travelling around Europe, seeking out & filming human interest/adventure-based stories. I have always focused on human stories and ensuring the narrative is told in a compelling and engaging way. The viewer needs to connect with the subject, which usually comes through an emotional response to a place or person, and it is this which is the key to ensuring a 'take away'. I am very passionate about the work I do, and want to get the most out of every shoot I take on, whether it's a charity video for a women's school in Nepal or a commercial job for Corinthia Hotels in Lisbon.
