Brief Summary
Producer, Director & Editor with almost 20 years experience working and collaborating on projects in the UK, Australia and across the globe. An eye for detail (the glasses help with that!), a strong understanding of visual styles and a knack for story-telling - learned through years of working in diverse & multi-functional roles - ensures every project is delivered true to vision and beyond expectations.

The first foray into the world of professional TV & Film was as an 18-year old runner performing odd-jobs and making coffee (good hot proper coffee!) on the set of TV Commercials in Melbourne, Australia. A famous director once said something that will never be forgotten... he said - ‘Thanks for the coffee, kid’.

Next came 'The Music Promo Years'. Producer & Director of over 40 promos for a wide range of great bands from Australia and just the one from Canada. Alongside the music industry stuff there were a few years on in post-production working on TV drama, commercials and corporates.

Zip forward a few years (and to the other side of the world!), 2004 and the following five years establish Brad as a hard-working freelance & full-time Producer, Director & Editor working on factual TV programmes for Channel 4 & ITV, corporate promos for major motoring and Formula 1 clients, documentary projects and a plethora of news releases and TV feature stories. A few years was also spent developing and managing projects for high-profile global brands including Land Rover, Johnnie Walker, McLaren Formula 1 and SONY.

2011 started with the creation of a new production company - THIS IS ITCH. - and working in various freelance roles in the TV industry.
