Storm Theunissen
agent: Camilla Chiverton - camilla@sternwild.com
Storm directs bold, visually distinctive and finely crafted films that have impeccable journalistic credentials. Her career spans 24 years in premium documentary and current affairs, and she’s won critical acclaim for her eclectic body of work for BBC1, Amazon Prime, Channel 4 and the cinema.
Working across genres, Storm has been at the helm of dozens of single films and series, including four feature docs. From a provocative ‘gonzo’ authored film where she investigates the body parts industry by selling every part of herself that she can, a highly innovative feature film about a crypto fraudster that blends cartoons and cowboy movies, to a gut-wrenching retrospective series about the women raped by a notorious porn star– Storm can turn any genre into a beautiful, thought-provoking film.
Storm is also a highly experienced producer and journalist. She has investigated the Bulgarian mafia, filmed in prisons worldwide, secured access to everyone from mass murderers and victims of crime to high-profile talent, including Margaret Thatcher’s last ever interview. Her work frequently attracts international media attention and her latest documentary about products using forced labour in China led to an emergency session in the UK parliament.
Execs and commissioners seek out Storm for her strong sense of vision and ability to exceed expectations - many work with her multiple times. She’s consistently sought out to oversee difficult edits and global productions - known as a safe pair of hands who can handle the most complex and demanding of projects.
