PETE CHINN DIRECTOR / PRODUCER +44(0)7881 620 254 petechinn@mac.comwww.petechinntv.com
BACKGROUNDIn the business over a decade, I have directed, scripted and produced Emmy Award-winning and top rating primetime projects for broadcasters on both sides of the Atlantic. I have built up a wide range of experience on different programme formats – and now specialise in long-form Science, History and Current Affairs documentaries. Alongside extensive international filming experience that has taken me to the wilder areas of Asia, Africa, & the Americas, I have designed numerous high-end CGI sequences, and can generate great performances from actors or presenters.
