THE ARCHIVE DETECTIVE
ARCHIVE PRODUCTION
Hi! I'm Cat, and I'm an Archive Producer specialising in archive-heavy, fast-paced projects for international clients, predominantly in music and pop culture documentary films.
I've built strong relationships with international archive suppliers and enjoy digging deep into a film's inner world to uncover rare and unseen material that will make a story feel truly unique. There are a million ways to tell a story, and my favourite part of the job is collaborating closely with the production team to find imaginative ways of not just to illustrating a story, but enriching and elevating it.
From initial research and sourcing through to rights clearance and final master delivery, I help productions find and license the perfect archive to bring their stories to life.
