CHRIS TERRILL
Creative Director
Chris has established himself as one of the foremost documentary makers in the country - specialising in films about people and communities as well as the military and high adventure. His proudest possession is the honorary green beret he was awarded when filming for Commando on the Front Line. He became the only civilian and the oldest person to pass the gruelling commando tests.

CHRIS HALL
Creative Director
Just as Chris was thinking about giving up television to open a Gastropub she was offered the job of series producing and directing a new series with Gordon Ramsay for Channel 4. Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares earned high plaudits from the critics, and won a stream of industry awards, including a BAFTA, Grierson, International Emmy and Broadcast award.

OUR TALENTED TEAM
-
ERICA BANKS | Production Manager
A wizard with figures and a master of office repartee, Erica has quickly adapted to our quirky ways. Her wealth of experience in the industry means she can do the job practically standing on her head – just as well because flexibility is the name of the game at Uppercut.

ALEXANDRA KELLY | Production Coordinator
Alexandra is responsible for the day to day running of our productions and keeping a close eye on Chris's filming activities. Fortunately for us (and her) she is married to a former Royal Marine so she's learned a thing or two about working under pressure and seems to carry the RM mantra 'cheerfulness in the face of adversity' at all times.
