Amy Richardson

A BAFTA-nominated Documentary Producer, Amy started out as a documentary photographer and undertook work as a photojournalist in Sri Lanka and Vietnam as well as in the UK. After completing a degree, she worked in Australia, Peru, New Zealand and Bolivia, on various freelance projects. Pursuing her interest in social issue documentary and having gained a deep understanding of international relations, Amy returned to the UK to study an MA in Media and International Development at the University of East Anglia.

After completing her Masters, Amy worked as a producer and researcher with BBC News and on various UK media projects before joining the WorldView team, producing some fantastic docs. 

In her time at WorldView, Amy and the small team supported numerous films, including Oscar-nominated Virunga and 5 Broken Cameras, as well as other critically acclaimed films such as Speed Sisters, A Syrian Love Story, Miners Shot Down, India’s Daughter and No Fire Zone. They also took on new digital interactive content such as the award-winning Shirt on Your Back in partnership with the Guardian, and Upian and Arte’s Alma: A Tale of Violence. 
Amy also managed and produced an award-winning short film platform
Your WorldView, a project that offered funding and support to young filmmakers and showcased short films from around the world.

After moving onto production, Amy has since been producing and filming numerous TV documentaries such as BBC’s Prison, My Parents and Me, Saying Goodbye and Stacey Dooley: The Young and Homeless, as well as multiple hard-hitting story-led documentaries such as Channel 4’s Child of Mine and the critically acclaimed 2020 BAFTA-nominated Growing Up Poor: Britain’s Breadline Kids.

Personable and confident, Amy brings enthusiasm and a fervent love of sandwiches to any team.
