Graham Judd
Film Maker and timestamp co-founder
Graham Judd has three decades of experience telling compelling stories for broadcasters on both sides of the Atlantic.
Documentaries he has produced and directed have aired on networks including BBC, ITV, PBS, ABC, National Geographic, History, and Discovery.
With a focus on character-based, emotionally resonant storytelling, Graham’s films span a range of genres, including history, science, religion, and current affairs. A keen interest in international stories has taken him to countries as far afield as Afghanistan, Angola, China, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, and Malaysia. Graham began his career in the BBC before moving to the US in 2001, where he developed and senior-produced several landmark PBS series, including This Emotional Life with Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert and African American Lives with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.. which The New York Times called “the most exciting and stirring documentary on any subject to appear on television in a long time.” Graham’s work on the PBS-NOVA science series Fabric of the Cosmos was recognized with an Emmy® Award nomination.
