when kids kill | dv director

2016, Series 1 | Channel 5, 9pm | Spun Gold TV, 6 x 60’                                                                          

This brand new documentary series, fronted by Guardian journalist Leah Green, delves inside the minds of Britain’s most terrifying young murderers, telling the stories of some of Britain’s most high profile child murderers in forensic and chillingly accurate detail.

I self-shot a sequence on cyber-bullying at Facebook HQ in Dublin single camera, on a day return trip - as well as cross-shot with the PD through the series. On the producing side, I was responsible for sourcing quick-turnaround access to charities and grass-root community groups joining forces to rehabilitate young people, as well as set up shoots with lawyers and CPS officials.
