"It is an honour to chair the MIPDOC Co-production Challenge this year. I have spent much of my professional life creating stories for television, so I will be especially looking for compelling story-telling in the projects that are pitched to the panel. I hope we see a fascinating selection of innovative new documentary subjects, as well as innovative new approaches to popular topics."
