Crafting compelling narratives that capture the human spirit in its most authentic form

Rosie Wilcox - Documentary Director

About Me

I'm an experienced shooting documentary director, specialising in talent-led films, both singles and multi-part series.

I'm able to bring care and emotion to divisive topics, capturing the warmth in human stories. My approach combines technical expertise with deep empathy, allowing me to create documentaries that resonate with audiences.

I've taken series from pre-production right through to delivery, managing teams and setting style throughout the edit. This comprehensive experience has given me a unique perspective on storytelling that spans every aspect of production.

I made my first drama short in 2020 and my second in 2022, which was selected for multiple international film festivals, marking an exciting expansion into narrative filmmaking.
