FILM & PRESENTING
If there’s one thing Sheldon loves doing, it’s making things accessible. As a presenter he won’t lecture you: he’ll draw you in by sharing and humanising a whole range of topics to see how wonderful, fascinating, sad or silly something can be. With his training as a tour guide, Sheldon specialises in this emotive and engaging way of presenting and has worked with The Royal Parks, The Gardens Trust, The Brunel and Petrie Museums in fronting and delivering inclusive content that brings stories to life. He can also edit videos too!

TALES FROM THE CATACOMBS
Produced to celebrate a more respectable element of Halloween for the Royal Parks in 2021, I was given unlimited access to a part of the cemetery that's been clsoed to visitors since 1890.

THE DIARY OF NATHANIEL BRYCESON
