#1: From interview [KODAK, 2013]
Born: 12 July 1961, ?, U.K.
Career: Joined BBC-tv in 1981 as c.asst working worldwide on doc's for the Natural History Unit. At the age of 25 he became one of the youngest film cameramen ever in the BBC and over the next few years shot many doc's on environmental and social issues, working in locations ranging from the Amazon rainforest to the depressed urban jungle of Glasgow. In 1989 he shot his first feature for Film Four International on location in India. 'I did a lot of freelance work for the BBC, and I became a focus-puller [for 6 years] for a DP called Andrew Dunn. Basically, I grew up in the system. I grew up assisting on documentaries, focus pulling on TV films and then I started shooting documentaries when I was 25.' [From interview with Paula Schwartz in 'MovieMaker', Vol. 1, Issue #7.]
