Fiona

After starting out as a business analyst in London and Germany, Fiona found a way to make her curiosity in people and places, into a career.

A BAFTA-nominated producer with 20 years of experience creating award-winning documentaries and developing TV programs for leading production companies in London and Manchester. Her work has involved developing ideas on a wide array of subjects and filming people from all walks of life—from wealthy socialites to mischievous pets—in settings as diverse as brothels and barrister chambers.

A champion of responsible filmmaking, Fiona produced a BAFTA-nominated Channel 4 series about children in the care system, which sparked a surge in adoption inquiries and overwhelmed websites with public interest.

A filming opportunity with herders in Mongolia led to a three-year strategic and operational role with a sustainability non-profit. This experience gave Fiona valuable insights into the communication challenges faced by sustainability organisations, inspiring her to establish Story Compass. Through Story Compass, she applies her creative yet pragmatic approach to storytelling, helping organisations share their stories with authenticity and minimal fuss.

Fiona’s work has appeared on all the main television channels, at the V&A Museum, in cinemas, and online. It has been featured in campaigns such as Tourism Ireland, used in internal and external communications for sustainability charities, and on websites for brands like Johnstons of Elgin.

Fiona has shared her enthusiasm for storytelling as a Visiting Lecturer at City University and London Film School.

Emma

Emma is a rare talent in being able to shoot beautifully- authenticly and discreetly capturing the story, while also being able to build a genuine rapport with whoever she is filming.  Often working with just one other person, Emma’s filming captures a sense of intimacy that resonates with the audience, while always remaining respectful of those filmed. 

With over 25 years of filming experience, Emma has worked in challenging and remote environments, from documenting the lives of farmers in the rugged Orkney Islands to capturing the gold rush in a newly opened mine. Her work also extends to emotionally charged projects, such as hospital documentaries and stories of children living in poverty.
