DOMINIC HILL /// SERIES PRODUCER & DIRECTOR

Testimonials

"Dom approached Firecracker with the idea to make a series about young British pilots flying in one of the most dangerous, spectacular and un-chartered places in the world; West Papua. What he had shot was compelling and visually incredible and when we showed the taster to Rich Evans at C4 he said it was the best he’d seen, ever! A commission quickly followed. Dom then took over the delicate relationship with Susi Air – the Indonesian company he had access to and managed the relationships with the pilots on the ground – finding the best ones to shoot with, getting them interested in taking part and keeping them on board. When it came to the edit Dom’s material was brilliantly shot with strong narratives that punched through. The end product was something we were all really proud of; stunning visuals, a part of the world seldom seen on primetime TV and stories that promised danger and humour. Just what Dom had promised!"

"Dom is one of the most talented Series Producers I've worked with and without his skill, dedication and ability to deal with outrageous acts of craziness we would have never made two successful returning US reality series. My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding and Gypsy Sisters were built with Dom leading from the front. He is someone I would always want to work with and who I always call first." 

Mike Warner, Executive Producer, My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding and The Gypsy Sisters


"Free Ride was tough series to make, capturing the intense experience of a journey across South America without cash or credit cards. Dom kept his head through some truly challenging events and narratives, never losing sight of what was needed for the edit. His knowledge for content combined with his strong editorial and directing ability elevated his programmes both on location and in the edit."

Sophie Todd, Series Producer, Free Ride


"Granting a UK television production company access to Susi Air after a number of tragic accidents was an extremely difficult decision for us. Having dealt with film crews before we were initially against any involvement, however the way Dominic approached us and presented his idea for a unique TV series about the company and our pilots gave us a lot of comfort thanks to his understanding of our concerns, knowledge of Indonesia and general aviation. I can honestly say the series would not have been made if it wasn't for his involvement as the producer in charge and we thoroughly enjoyed working closely with him to generate the best possible access and stories for the show."
