Public Dialogue Films

Paul Wyatt’s work often features people who don’t have a say in what impacts their lives but are given this opportunity through public dialogues, citizen panels, juries and councils that give citizens a say on issues of great importance to society.

This work has included a national debate on land use and climate change for WWF, the use of health and social care data for the National Data Guardian. Documenting public opinion on the use of AI technologies on behalf of RSA and Deepmind. The potential use of whole genome sequencing as a technology for Genomics England and giving citizens a say on the debate on technologies which collect and process biometric data for Ada Lovelace Institute and on national economic policy, and influence over the future of the UK economy for the Citizens Economic Council.

Paul Wyatt has produced filmed content used within public dialogues (such as information films about a subject matter co-created with an advisory panel) as well as interviews with participants following their journeys as they take part in these processes.  A very human interest approach enables Paul to successfully engage viewers on an emotional and practical level with subjects that explore technically complex and emotionally challenging issues.

His public dialogue content has significantly impacted wider engagement and interest in these processes.
