The archive producers on award-winning documentaries about Amy Winehouse and Ayrton Senna have joined forces to launch a production company and archive research firm.
Paul Bell, whose credits include ground-breaking archive docs Amy and Senna, and fellow archive producer James Hunt, the former head of archive at Princess Productions, set up Dog and Duck Films last month.
The duo aim to act as a “hive mind” to help TV and film productions work with archive footage, as well as producing their own TV shows and films.
“I have described what I do as ‘make films without a camera’, and part of our aim is to do that,” said Bell.
“The other side is about working with talented film-makers who might be baffled by archive, which is an industry we understand. It’s about finding new stories – Amy and Senna were historical documentaries but they were also new stories.”
