Borderpoint Films was established by filmmakers Dominic Rees-Roberts and Paul Cooke to create entertaining and thought-provoking factual content.
Dom and Paul formed a creative partnership after meeting at Imperial College London whilst studying Science Media Production. They have over 25 years of television production experience between them, and their science backgrounds and expertise in documentary filmmaking gives them a unique voice with which to tell compelling, visually-arresting stories.
Dom has wide ranging experience in factual television, directing over 100 hours of programming in the science, history and crime genres. He uses his strong science credentials (Ph.D. in Parasitology) to create exciting and inventive shows that are packed with fascinating content.
Highlights include directing smash hits for the Science Channel; What On Earth, NASA's Unexplained Files and Strange Evidence, for which he also series produced a 20-episode run. Recent projects have been for Netflix, Curiosity Stream and Channel 5.
His varied work has seen him filming at Jim Carey’s house in LA, blowing up WW2 munitions in Poland and following the transport of a multi-million dollar satellite to French Guiana on a huge cargo plane. He's even portrayed Prof. Stephen Hawking's doctor in a drama doc about his life.
Paul has spent over a decade making broadcast documentaries, music videos, short films and branded content for networks and outlets including the BBC, Netflix, National Geographic, Disney, Red Bull, Channel 4, Discovery, Omeleto and Channel 5.
With a physics degree and a masters in science media production, Paul is able to combine his love of arresting visuals and compelling narratives with the ability to simplify and humanise complex topics.
Paul is London-based, but has relished working in challenging locations such as Tanzania, Egypt, Russia, USA, Israel, Mongolia, Micronesia, Australia and many others. Everywhere from air-conditioned Burbank studios to tropical jungles and the frozen tundra.
Paul once drank a mind-altering substance with the king of a small Pacific island to gain filming access to a haunted city.
