Steve Sklair - Filmmaker
Award Winner

"Steve is a pleasure to work with. A consummate professional, he has great ideas and knows how to implement them. Since we worked together Steve has become an experienced, camera operator, director and producer. Most important of all he knows how to engage with different kinds of people and get the best out of them. I strongly recommend him."

Yaba Badoe

Documentary Filmmaker and Author

"In all my time in TV I never met a more all-round talented programme maker. When I got the job at the BBC the first thing I did was to get Steve on board. He started as an AP (Assistant Producer), within a year he was a Producer and a year later a Series Producer. He became my troubleshooter – any commission that was extremely difficult I gave it to him, like working with impossibly difficult presenters or huge series that were logistical nightmares. He never failed to deliver…often more than I hoped for."

Bob Long

Executive Producer BBC

"Steve Sklair is an exceptionally talented filmmaker, and a real joy to work with. Steve has an unerring feel for the story in factual and documentary programmes, and a great way of getting the best out of contributors. I have booked Steve as director, as camera, as editor. He wears his experience and knowledge lightly, but you can always trust him to frame an arresting shot, to cut a captivating sequence, to lead a happy team. Steve delivers."
