Crew Listing


Description

I’m a Producer with over a decade of credits across high-end factual and unscripted television for global broadcasters and streamers. I have worked on a diverse range of productions from development through to final delivery, with expertise in logistics, production coordination, scheduling, and on-the-ground crew and talent management.

I have handled sensitive and complex subjects, collaborating closely with contributors, international crews, and stakeholders to ensure shoots are methodically planned and editorially sound. I bring strong editorial judgement, with a keen eye for shaping compelling storylines and narrative arcs.

I'm well-versed in overseeing budgets, broadcaster compliance, legal paperwork, and final deliverables for both broadcasters and OTT platforms. I also have robust knowledge of archive research and licensing, copyright, fair dealing, and clearance of music and news footage.

Proficient in managing risk assessments, location access, call sheets, NDAs, and contributor release forms, I build impactful working relationships with contributors and clients, and work well both independently and as part of a crew.

Indian regional language skills.
