SJM works
 

My work spans arts and culture, specialist factual programming and current affairs, with a focus on visually distinctive, intelligent storytelling and strong editorial rigour. I have produced and directed documentaries, branded films, social campaigns, podcasts and long-form factual programming for broadcasters, streaming platforms, cultural institutions and global brands including the BBC, Channel 4 News, Christie’s, Sotheby’s, Tate, Vogue and Nowness.

 

I have a proven track record delivering hard-hitting, difficult-access documentaries for the BBC, Channel 4 and SVODs, alongside branded digital and social content, with experience spanning blue-chip documentaries, investigative journalism, fast-turnaround news, live broadcasts, and high-end art and fashion films. For content work I work closely with art directors, designers and motion graphics teams. I have extensive experience managing productions from development through to delivery and working with high-profile talent. 

 

Highlights include producing Newsnight’s coverage of the Grenfell Tower fire, which won the Royal Television Society Journalism Awards in the Home News category, and directing Grenfell Tower: The 21st Floor, nominated for an RTS Award for Best Current Affairs Film. I started my career at the BBC Natural History Unit where I worked on productions including the Grierson Award-winning David Attenborough’s Charles Darwin and the Tree of Life and the Emmy Award-winning series Human Planet. More recently, I produced a short documentary for Christie's titled Tamara de Lempicka: The Baroness with the Brush, which won a Lovie Award for Best Short Film.

​

I speak French and have extensive international filming experience across a wide range of locations and production environments.
