Testimonials

“Jan is a pleasure to work with. She is relaxed, professional and has a real ear for finding the right words for the job. Her delivery for the DVD voice-over was pitch perfect: her voice was subtle, modulated and varied and she successfully enlivened a complex subject, presenting the factual content with real warmth, interest and energy. She’ll certainly be on my list for future bookings.”
Sarah Gibson-Yates (Writer-director)

“Jan’s podcast was one of the best we’ve done. The considerable broadcast experience she brings to the table helped to make the Focus film podcast work really well, both as a fluent – and efficient – studio recording, and importantly also as a relaxed yet lively and informed programme for listeners.”
Mark Batey (Chief Executive, Film Distributors’ Association)

“With her natural and succinct storytelling ability, Jan can bring any film festival to life. You’ll be hooked by her interviews and she’ll leave you feeling in touch with the stars, the script and the whole feel of the movie she’s talking about. She critiques recent releases in a warm, witty and engaging style, and really knows her movies. I finish listening to Jan and I’m intrigued; I find myself wanting to go to the cinema there and then in case I miss the excitement of what I’ve just heard!”
Antonia Brickell (Drive Presenter, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire)

“Jan’s writing is excellent – it needs very little editing (a bonus for any editor), and is informative and entertaining.”
Olivia Abbott (Editor, Agenda magazine)

“Jan’s presentation of the Richard Attenborough Film Awards was fun, enthusiastic and authoritative, which felt absolutely right for the occasion. We’re delighted she could do it!”
Mark Batey (Chief Executive, Film Distributors’ Association)

“Jan is top of our list to chair Q&A events, and has interviewed both established filmmakers including Kenneth Branagh and Stephen Poliakoff as well as up-and-coming talent for us. She’s a pleasure to work with, thoroughly researching her subjects and handling interviewees and audiences with ease.”
Tony Jones (Director, Cambridge Film Festival)
