Jim Smith - Documentary Showreel
Examples of recent broadcast and university work
Jim Smith
Documentary Production (MA) 2024
I am a self-shooting documentary filmmaker with broadcast experience working on sensitive, access led programs and with vulnerable contributors.
My second year undergraduate documentary, 'No Regrets' (2012) won a student RTS award and screened at Sheffield Doc/Fest. My graduate film, 'The Man Who Fell from the Sky' (2013) was developed and broadcast by Channel 4 for a 9pm slot.
I recently completed the Documentary MA and produced an observational film, 'Menace to Mentor' (2024) which I am hoping to develop for TV. (The trailer can be found on my profile)
I am looking for more opportunities in observational TV docs as a Shooting AP and DV Director.

A life of trauma, addiction and violent crime, but a determination to turn it around.
