Missing Millionairess: A Factual Masterclass with Thomas Meadmore, Nic Guttridge and Sophie Robinson

This episode of the Directors UK podcast was recorded at our members' masterclass with director, producer and editor Thomas Meadmore and documentary story consultant Nic Guttridge. Thomas and Nic were joined by award-winning documentary director Sophie Robinson to discuss the making of gripping true crime ITV feature documentary 'The Real Vanishing Act — Missing Millionairess'. They shared a great insight into how they used story mapping to create the documentary's structure and narrative, the importance of trust-building when gaining access to contributors and how they blended archive content with current events to create the tone and pace of the documentary. We hope you enjoy this deep dive into the craft of feature documentary making! (Image credit: Fremantle)
