In 2017-18, I was involved in the making of two documentary series that have just been ranked amongst the best Netflix shows of all time - "Formula One: Drive to Survive" and "Sunderland 'Til I Die" (with the only doc shows above them are "The Last Dance" and "Making a Murderer"). I remember coming into "Sunderland" with the confidence of knowing that 'this is how to tell stories'. I dived in trying to be as true as possible to what I knew would make compelling stories that were emotional as well as 'exciting'; essentially as complete as possible and always having a deeper meaning threaded through the action. Fullwell73 were incredibly encouraging. Following that, I moved to Box to Box films and took the same attitude to a new series to being made about F1. As the series editor (which is an editorial role - not cutting) I had much more say in how I thought these episodes should be told. I followed my same approach to creating complete stories. Obviously, it worked! I was one part of great teams on both series and, of course, it's great that our work was recognised (as well as becoming huge hits too).
