CLEA MARTIN VARGAS
I have produced in locations around the world, setting up shoots in the wake of natural disasters and during large-scale, live events, with key experience on US-based stories.
My work has focused on series and films that delve into the lives of unconventional or challenging individuals - both famous and unknown - and uncover retrospective and contemporary cultural and environmental history. Recently, I have also developed skills in art direction for reconstruction shoots, archive, and casting on branded content and online series.
I have worked on successful series for Netflix, BBC, and Channel 4 and feature documentaries for theatrical release as an Assistant Producer. My work includes the 2023 Emmy-nominated Netflix series Earthstorm, BBC 2 and BBC Arts' series Picasso: The Beauty and the Beast and Mercury Studios' feature Fanny: The Other Mendelssohn, currently in cinemas.
