CRITICAL CONDITION
Producer/Director | Series 1 & 2 | Channel 5
NOMINATED FOR THE BROADCAST AWARD FOR BEST SPECIALIST FACTUAL PROGRAMME
Critical Condition follows staff and patients as they confront the realities of emergency medicine. It’s a powerful, moving and ultimately awe-inspiring look at the work of our trauma services, shot with the urgency and speed of classic medical drama ER.
I developed the idea, shaped the style and format of the series and negotiated the access, before PD’ing (self shooting all on prime lenses) for 3 months in the hospital. I edit produced episode 1 and took all 4 through post.
