Jamie Doran is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, producer, director and author.

Doran has worked at the highest levels of television film production over the past 22 years, with many of his films leading series both nationally and internationally. In that time, those films have been broadcast on virtually every major channel throughout the world.

An award-winning documentary filmmaker, Doran spent over seven years at BBC Television before establishing his independent television company.
