MATT BOTTEN
Matt is an award-winning PD, with a focus on innovative, original story treatments and a shooting style that has a dynamic visual flair. His 15+ years of experience, primarily at the BBC, includes ambitious, distinctive films for series such as The One Show, Countryfile, Crimewatch Live and CBBC’s Dengineers. He is also a very experienced drone pilot.
Matt feels privileged to have worked across a wide variety of genres, from factual entertainment, to children’s, observational documentary, crime, food, and consumer shows, working with a wealth of contributors from high-end talent (directing Tom Holland as Spider-Man and Jodie Whittaker as Doctor Who), to prime-time presenters to vulnerable ex-service personnel. He prides himself on developing a fun, relaxing environment for contributors – on one occasion even dressing up as Batman to film a four year old who was a big fan of superheroes.
