Charlie Phillips is the Head of Documentaries at The Guardian, commissioning and acquiring new short documentaries from all around the world. The Guardian is one of the world's most read English Language news and storytelling sources, with 200m monthly unique browser visits. Charlie was previously Deputy Director at Sheffield Doc/Fest for 7 years before joining The Guardian in 2014, and prior to that he was Editor of FourDocs for Channel 4. We're looking to commission mostly short form documentaries, up to approximately 20 minutes. The docs we want need to have brilliant storytelling and characters focused on contemporary subjects which are relevant globally and feel very new.
