Shot and edited your documentary film? If it’s narrative driven, you need a versatile, energetic writer who can compliment your images with the flourish of an imaginative and engaging script.

Hugo Fay writes documentary narrative for National Geographic Television, Discovery, Animal Planet, BBC, Canal Plus and other broadcasters and independent production companies.

Whether it’s wildlife, history, science, politics, the arts, extreme sport…. Hugo researches, writes and polishes scripts dispensing with the tired clichés that sometimes cheapen expensively-made films.

As a long-time BBC broadcaster, current affairs executive producer and screenwriter, Hugo’s documentary scripts stand up to the most rigorous “fact-checkers” and the entertainment needs of the most demanding viewers.

Hugo also adapts foreign-language documentary scripts for the international market, working with numerous European clients. He is currently scripting the English version of a full-length feature-doc for Saint Thomas Productions (France) entitled RED TIDE.
