AI Media Consultant, Documentary Producer & Media Trainer
Media Expertise. Production Workflow Optimisation. Real-World Results.
As well as making films, I help organisations harness artificial intelligence — cutting through the hype to build workflows that actually work.
Who I am
I’m Dean Arnett: AI Media Consultant, award-winning documentary producer, media trainer, and former BBC journalist with over 30 years in the broadcast industry.
I’ve shot and produced documentaries for the BBC, Discovery, Al Jazeera and Amazon Prime. I’ve trained journalists and media teams across more than 40 countries. And for the past several years, I’ve been helping organisations — in media and beyond — understand, adopt, and get real value from artificial intelligence.
If you’re looking for AI consultancy grounded in genuine industry experience, you’re in the right place.
AI Consultancy
For media organisations and beyond.
I work with broadcasters, production companies, digital publishers, and increasingly, organisations in other industries, to develop practical AI strategies that deliver measurable results.
Whether you need help choosing the right tools, training your team, or building a longer-term AI roadmap, I bring the clarity and experience to make it happen.
I also design and build AI automations that eliminate the workflow frictions and bottlenecks that quietly cost production companies time and money every single day. If your team is spending hours on tasks that AI can handle in minutes, that’s where I come in.
