Sidney's Promos

LIBERTY GLOBAL

I am a senior creative producer and filmmaker with a broadcast background, specialising in shaping ambitious, audience-focused screen content around complex organisations and cultural stories.

In my current role at Liberty Global, I lead the development and delivery of multi-platform film projects that champion people, process and craft - from mentorship and youth initiatives to large-scale flagship programmes. Working across broadcast, live events and cinematic film content, I bring an editorially rigorous, collaborative approach to storytelling, with a particular focus on making specialist subjects accessible, engaging and emotionally resonant for diverse audiences.

Alongside this editorial focus, I play a central role in launching and sustaining short-form and long-form projects, working from early development through to delivery and distribution. I have led series planning, directed and overseen both film and photography shoots across studio and location, and delivered content at pace for high-visibility platforms, often within complex stakeholder environments.

BRITAIN'S WATCHING

Launched during the global pandemic, GB News emerged in 2021 as the UK’s most successful television news start-up, requiring a clear and confident editorial narrative to establish trust and reach beyond its core audience. As part of the senior creative team, I helped shape and deliver Britain’s Watching: a channel-defining campaign designed to articulate the breadth of voices and perspectives across the schedule.

The work focused on creating accessible, audience-facing films that contextualised the channel’s output, broadened its appeal, and repositioned perceptions among both viewers and industry stakeholders. The campaign played a significant role in strengthening audience engagement and public recognition, contributing to GB News being voted the UK’s Most Loved News Brand in Savanta BrandVue’s 2023 survey and receiving multiple TRIC Awards, voted for by the public.

JOHN CLEESE

To launch John Cleese's first-ever talk show on GB News, I was responsible for directing and delivering key elements of the campaign's promotional material: a feature-length look at the making of the show, the main series promo, press photography, radio adverts and stills elements for the poster. Working closely with Cleese, I shot & edited many deliverables myself using a combination of hybrid cameras (Sony FX6, Sony A7SIII, Fujifilm X-H2S & X-T5). The campaign was widely covered in mainstream media with mention of my work in the Times and METRO.
