Gene Simmons hands out a Rock and Roll education to 12 angry teenagers at a tough comprehensive in Lowesoft

I was responsible for casting 12 different and engaging teenagers with strong stories. Shooting ob doc style, on location at a school for 5 weeks to create 4 distinctive hours of real, emotional and funny telly.

Additionally, I was responsible for producing the legendary Gene Simmons, plus leading and managing a large team on location in the UK and USA. Over the course of this production I mastered filming live music shows, as the Rock School band went on a UK tour and played in front of 20,000 rock fans in LA opening for Judas Priest. I took the whole series to completion: directing offline/online edits.
