James Lyons Pro

I am a college professor who writes about American documentary. My latest book is Documentary, Performance and Risk (https://www.routledge.com/Documentary-Performance-and-Risk-1st-Edition/Lyons/p/book/9781138852136)

I also teach on the University of Exeter/London Film School MA International Film Business, with many students interested in working in the documentary sector worldwide.

I co-designed and co-produced The Risk Takers Survival Guide, an interactive documentary that won the Ramillas Interactive Fund Award at Sheffield International Doc/Fest.

I am currently working on research on Extreme Sports documentaries.
