Simple stories well told

I’ve spent the last week in edit struggling to tell a complicated story in a simple way. I have a maxim that I try to apply to all my TV work, which is ‘simple stories well told’; it’s difficult to achieve sometimes.

I’d always thought this motto applies more to producing and directing films, because the process of making a coherent, entertaining story that works for a broadcaster's audience is inherently complex.

But when I looked at the still photograph of  Drew and Tiree, I see the maxim at work again. I’ve always enjoyed taking pictures that are contre jour. When colour and  texture are removed, the essential is isolated without the detail.
