Daikin MarshDirector

I am a British director who has worked in television since the 1990s. I have directed a wide range of shows from high end to continuing drama series. My credits include Vera, New Tricks and Shameless, Casualty, Waterloo Road and EastEnders. I spent a year as Lead Director on the BBC's BAFTA winning Holby City and my episode of ITV's Vera, ‘Old Wounds’ won an RTS award for best drama.

I love telling stories. I love working with actors. I love cinematography and production design and sound and editing. I love the craft. The collaborative experience that connects so many components and brings to life the writer’s vision is always a joy.

I have enjoyed working with actors from ranging from the less experienced to the highly acclaimed and award winning. I always strive to create the best possible environment for an actor to give their best performances.

With a passion for images I began my career by training and working for several years as a camera operator. The technical understanding and affinity with the camera this gave me has not only helped me develop a visual style that is rich, fluent and engaging but has also has allowed me more time to concentrate on supporting the actors, capturing great performances and purposeful storytelling.

I enjoy creative problem solving. I am fully aware of the practical pressures a production faces and have consistently been able to complete schedules on time and within budget whilst delivering work of the highest standard.
