Four more top film-makers joined Stern & Wild this week 


I'm so delighted to welcome Jenny Ash, Nigel Paterson, Sasha Djurkovic and Jim Greayer to  the ‘premier league’ of long-form documentary makers brought together by agency Stern & Wild

Here's my take: Jenny brings high-end drama magic to real life, Nigel has herded the BBC’s dinosaurs, Sasha mines the darkest seams of people’s souls, and Jim turns factual drama into edge-of-your-seat tension

Sasha Djurkovic won RTS and Grierson Best Documentary Series awards for BBC2 Protecting Our Children, with Grierson and BAFTA nominations for other work.

Jenny Ash directed the recent high-profile C4 film Angry, White and American (see trailer below). Jenny’s films for ‘America - The Story Of US’ were nominated for four separate international Emmy awards.

Nigel Paterson, a show runner of massive projects and 20-year veteran of the BBC, is an Emmy winner and Grierson nominee.

Jim Greayer is show runner and director of the current Channel 5 Bettany Hughes-fronted drama-doc series 8 Days That Made Rome. www.sternwild.com
