Leviathan Films was established by UK-based writer/producer/director Nigel Levy to produce documentaries and drama for all the major national and international TV networks, as well as theatrical release. After degrees in physics and philosophy, Nigel began his career with the BBC. Now working independently, he moves between the arts and sciences, documentary and drama, producing films with a reputation for combining stunning visuals with intimate, emotional storytelling.

Nigel's credits include:

• Series Editing the first season of Netflix's Formula One: Drive to Survive for the producers of Amy and Senna,
• Writing and directing the Emmy-nominated docu-drama Titanic: Case Closed for the Oscar-winning producers of The King's Speech, and
• Producing the Emmy and RTS-nominated feature doc 9/11 Life Under Attack
• Directing the feature doc The Man Who Stole The Scream (executive produced by Asif Kapadia)
• Co-directing the feature film Mothers and Daughters (starring Sharon Stone, Susan Sarandon, Mira Sorvino, Christina Ricci, Selma Blair and Courtney Cox).
• Assistant director at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast.

His acclaimed observational documentary The Language Master had a global impact on language teaching. He also scripted a BBC Natural History documentary for Sir David Attenborough, produced the RTS-nominated "How to Win the Grand National", and created and produced the acclaimed natural history cinematic thriller series, Fatal Attractions, for Animal Planet.

His broad expertise in storytelling has often resulted in him collaborating on productions to help develop storylines across multiple episodes and series as script doctor in the edit on one-off documentaries and feature docs.

He teaches these techniques in his Doc Fix seminars, courses and mentoring.


Nigel is a full member of BAFTA and a trustee of the Directors' Charitable Foundation (DCF)
