NICOLA TREMAIN director


I have over a decade's experience directing documentaries for the major UK broadcasters and streamers including Emmy-nominated Secrets of the Elephants (Disney+), Cheetah Family & Me and Equator from the Air for BBC Two, New Lives in the Wild for Channel 5, Food Unwrapped for Channel 4. I am highly experienced working with talent and contributors alike and I'm as at ease filming the intimate moments of people's lives as I am immersed in the jungle with the military police or up close with dangerous animals.
​
Having directed presenter-led, wildlife, obs doc, specialist factual and drama doc, I am adept at taking on new challenges. I pride myself on getting to the heart of a story quickly; building solid relationships with contributors and telling stories in the most compelling way. Making films is a real privilege, and my enthusiasm for it means I create a strong team atmosphere on location: even the toughest shoots should be fun.
I'm also an artist selling original pieces and working to commission. I believe that my artistic eye spills over into my telly work, whether self-shooting or directing.
​
I have 5 hens, a Bernese Mountain dog and a PhD in genetics.
