Sophy Crane
ABOUT ME
I am a self-shooting producer working across major long form wildlife, social impact and observational documentaries, and have worked on programmes involving complex underwater shoot logistics, international locations, and highly sensitive environments.
My focus lies in storytelling with a purpose, whether that's producing across impact campaigns (SBS's Backtrack Boys, BBC's Green Planet & Frozen Planet II), or working on documentaries that have the potential to alter audience perspective and highlight issues otherwise gone unheard.
