About me
Born in London, England, I began my film career age sixteen making short films. Following an award from UCA for best short documentary age eighteen, I soon began studying film at University and achieved a broad range of film experience in directing, cinematography, editing and writing. I began working for acclaimed video production companies including Somesuch, Primary Wave and Uproxx working on various high-profile projects for Warner Bros and various commercial brands before my BA graduate degree film Supernova screened at Cinecity film festival. My proven ability to work well with actors led me to direct talent from the BBC as well as American actors during the filming of my short film Audition in Los Angeles. In 2015 I studied a Master’s Degree in Directing Fiction at the University of London, Goldsmiths where I directed Inferno, my most ambitious film to date, which was screened at the Curzon cinema in Soho, London and other international film festivals. I am currently working for Los Angeles based production company Uproxx as a documentary filmmaker, editor and YouTube personality, with my latest film on mental health receiving international acclaim from Warner Music Group and YouTube after achieving hundreds of thousands of views and going viral.
