what's a birdfish? *
Birdfish Productions is run by husband and wife team Oliver Clague and Amy Swan. Between them they cover adventure, natural history, drama - and everything in between!
AMY
Originally from Calgary Alberta, I've lived and worked in England for over a decade now during which I have had the good fortune to work on a string of wonderful productions which have let me travel across the UK and work with some amazingly talented people. I love living in Bristol and I'm very excited to be a member of the Bristol Editors Network and British Film Editors.
I recently edited on a new CBBC observational documentary series Deadly Mission Shark. Prior to this I edited a feature length adaption of Hamlet for the big and small screen performed live at Bristol Old Vic starring Billie Howle.
Other edits include a 9 episode compilation of Sarah Beeny's 'New Life in the Country' for Channel 4 and a Sky Arts drama called the 'Park Bench Plays' - five plays about the pandemic by local Brummie writers like David Edgar and Janice Connolly in partnership with The Brimingham REP theatre.
Recent credits include assembly editing on independent feature dramedy All My Friends Hate Me. Also assembly editing on A Discovery of Witches (Series III, Sky1), Clique (Series II, BBC3), and
The Trouble With Maggie Cole (ITV1).
My passion is storytelling, and I'm always keen to turn my hand to new projects! I'm very happy to have a chat and a coffee about any upcoming work.

OLIVER
Born in the UK, I moved to Canada at the age of two. A childhood spent wandering the woods of Ontario might be partly responsible for my aversion to the indoors.
With credits that span adventure, natural history and fact-ent and obs-doc, my twin passions are the people and animals inhabiting Earth's wild places.
I've directed talent like John Bishop, Matt Baker, Steve Backshall and the Kratt Brothers, and I'm an accomplished camera-operator. I hold an MSc in animal behaviour and have filmed expeditions through the Jungle, Desert, Tundra, and across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
