About me

Creative + Filmmaker based in London and Amsterdam. As a Creative I conceive, write, produce, and edit on-air spots and digital content. For my work at A+E Networks, I was nominated for Best Newcomer at PROMAX 2019 and received a Silver at PROMAX Africa 2020. In the centre of the media world I strive to make work that cuts through. This principle also guides my filmmaking. With a background in Anthropology my shorts blur the line between reality and fiction, documentary and narrative, biography and fantasy. Official Selections include Palace International, London Experimental and Berlin Experimental Film Festival. Exhibitions include Feed Your Demons & Meet the Ally (2020, One Project, London) and Long Walk by the Sea (2019, Goldsmiths, London). As well as directing short-form, I produced 84303 (2016) a documentary which captures the testimony of Zigi Shipper, the youngest survivor to leave Auschwitz. The film aired on Sky History for Holocaust Memorial Day 2017.

  CommanderCommander is a performance art film exploring relationality, poetic ecology, and control. Set in a timespace where historical past meets speculative future, Colonel Pike encounters hybrid beings (animal-human) in a shingle interzone. He observes their bioculture - a process of freedom and 'non-identity'. Paralysed by naivety Pike is alienated and becomes the subject of perverse ritual. This film was made in collaboration with performance artist and costume designer Florent Venet.
