Documentary Filmmaking: Crafting Your Story in Post (Feb. 2020)

Maxine is a filmmaker and consultant. She has directed, developed and produced critically acclaimed feature documentaries and series in the UK, US and around the world. As a producer she enjoys enabling others to realise their goals and guiding them through production. For example, writing Dance with Dads' inaugural treatments for the director of Netflix's Daughters; or story consulting for Canada's Oscar nominee Eternal Spring. Whether she's finding great characters or directing jaw-dropping cinematic scenes, she loves bringing dramatic true stories to life. Her secret weapon is that she began her career working as a development executive for scripted comedy at the BBC, which helps bring emotion (and some humour) to everything she makes.
