About Director
I’m an award-winning journalist, my BBC Radio 4 documentary about trauma ‘Meeting the Man I Killed’ won the ARIA (formerly Sony) for Best Factual Storytelling in 2018. Until recently I presented news bulletins on the BBC World Service. I have also been a psychotherapist in private practice. I had a novel published by HarperCollins, ‘The Bigger the Better’. I published an e-book: ‘Mel Pepper and the Meaning of Wife’. I have also written, recorded and produced and an audiobook available on Spotify, Audible, Apple and other platforms: ‘My Year of Bad Sex’ . It’s in 40 parts. One reviewer said: ‘It’s not just about sex but love and loss, curiosity and courage. It’s funny, touching and surprising… beautifully written, the wit of Sedaris and the humanity of Maupin.’
Film Overview
