Testimonials

Informed, considered and engaging, Col helped me navigate the complexities of developing my films.

Peter Middleton, co-director of BAFTA-nominated 'Notes On Blindness'

Col Spector is the most patient consultant I have ever experienced. He is the consummate educator in the truest sense of the word. He has that rare gift of being able to draw out what I already knew subconsciously.

  Mary Anstey, filmmaker

In one session, I got the confidence to start to make the film. Since then it’s been made and sits proudly on the homepage on Channel 4. Thank you Col, without your guidance my first film would never have got off the ground.

Matt Mahmood-Ogston, director of award-winning 'My God, I'm Queer'

About Me

I'm an award-winning filmmaker with 30 years of experience. I started at BBC Arts TV directing such documentaries as Just Enough DistanceTrouble At The House and The Lost Supper. My feature films as writer/director are Someone Else (2006), Honeymooner (2010), and I'm Not In Love (2022). In 2014 I set up The Documentary Consultant in order to help documentary makers around the world achieve success.

How I Can Help You

If you're struggling with a documentary idea that you want to get selected by festivals, cinemas or broadcasters I am here to help.

 

In a matter of a few hours I will work with you on improving your documentary idea and help it be as great as it can be,

​

I begin by testing your idea and seeing if it as good as it can be. And if it isn't then I will help you discover new ways to transform your idea into a living, breathing film that has the potential to emotionally connect with your audience.

​

I use the same principles I developed and used as a successful documentary director at the BBC and Channel 4.
