Torquil Boyd- Managing Director –  torquil@ttvpictures.co.uk

Torquil Boyd  has worked in the television industry for  more than 30 years – for the past 20  as Managing Director of TTV.  He has written and directed five television series  and  won international recognition for his films on  defence and veterans. He loves making films and brings the same creative energy to web-based or short corporate videos as he does to documentaries or TV series.  The subjects he has filmed are diverse and eclectic –   from billion dollar city dealings  to the plight of  homeless street dwellers. He prides himself on being able to grasp a subject quickly and define a brief succinctly.  Torquil   believes that everyone has a story to tell. “Our work, our victories and our  struggles are  what makes us human and fascinating”.  Torquil is married with two daughters and is a fanatical cook and fly fisherman.
