Nick Clarke Powell is an award winning producer and director. He has been making documentaries about archaeology, history and science for a couple of decades.
After training as an oceanographer and archaeologist, he began a career in archaeology in the jungles of Southern India, before bringing his experience working in fascinating yet difficult environments into television production on programmes like Discovery Channel’s ‘Mysteries of Asia’ and Channel 4/Discovery’s “Time Team”.
Alongside many documentaries for the UK’s BBC, Channel 4 and Channel 5 he has made several films for international science strands like National Geographic’s ’Naked Science’ and ‘Nature Shock’, PBS NOVA and BBC Horizon on subjects as varied as Neanderthal/Human interbreeding (‘Decoding Neanderthals’ PBS Nova), macabre seal massacres on Sable Island (‘Corkscrew Killer’ NGCI) to predator rewilding (‘Predators in your Backyard/ Wild Predator Invasion’ BBC/PBS Nova).
Recently he has been directing notable, exclusive access documentaries like the Grierson nominated “Woolly Mammoth: The Autopsy” for UK Channel 4/ Smithsonian and the follow up ‘Lost Beasts of the Ice Age’ for Discovery Channel and UK C4, both featuring George Church’s ongoing efforts to clone woolly mammoths as well as co-exec’ing/ showrunning fast turnaround documentaries like Discovery’s ‘Pandemic: Covid 19’ and Quest’s ‘What Killed Maradona’ at ITN Productions in the UK.
Nick is known for his strong relationships with cutting-edge scientists and his ability to build compelling narratives from the raw material of the fascinating, almost sci-fi, world of modern scientific research.
