Barney Snow | Sweet Sixteen

Profile

I started working in television in the 1990s and have since made around thirty five factual or documentary programmes as a director/producer, many of which I've filmed myself. My background is in observational documentary but I have worked frequently with presenters on a wide range of different programmes and subjects. Films I've made have been nominated for both an RTS and a BAFTA.

I'm also an experienced self-shooting director happy to work with a range of formats and cameras. Most commonly used are the Sony FS7 and Canon C300. I also have my own shooting and sound equipment. I also direct crews but most frequently work in a small team together with an AP or researcher.

Sweet Sixteen

Director/producer/camera

I filmed and directed 2 x 60 mins in this observational series shot over eight months and set in a challenging school in Tottenham, North London. BBC Specialist Factual. TX January 2007

This is Daniel Eduardo, the main character in one of the films I made and at that time a pupil at Northumberland Park school, right next door to White Hart Lane, the Spurs ground. As an occasional visitor to The Lane I’d often wondered about the school. We spent eight months or so filming there so I learned a great deal more than could ever be put in the film.
