Sid is a director and writer of feature-length documentaries and dramas. He can fuse the two genres brilliantly - something he did to create Discovery’s most-watched show ever.
He draws on CGI, humour and dramatic storytelling to make premium films that glue audiences to his narrative arc.
Sid wrote and directed documentary-style fantasy thriller The Dinosaur Project for theatrical release through Studio Canal. His two-hour film Mermaids: The Body Found, a fantasy made in documentary-format netted Discovery’s biggest single audience.
Documentaries directed by Sid include Houston, We Have A Problem, The Last Of The Few, Secrets Of The Stonehenge Skeletons, and Lucy Worsley’s Fireworks For A Tudor Queen. He has made films for Amazon Prime, Nat Geo, Discovery, History Channel, Studio Canal and all of the UK terrestrial broadcasters.
Sid has received over 20 international awards and nominations for his documentaries and drama.
