I am a London-based Director and Moving Image Creative, with over 10 years varied experience working across the film, marketing+advertising, and contemporary art industries.
Since 2014 I have developed, directed and worked flexibly as moving image creative on commercials and content for brands such as Oakley, adidas, Virgin, Reebok and The Body Shop, charities such as Anthony Nolan and Brighter Sounds, and organisations such as The Guardian.
In 2016 I began work on SMOKING SHORES, a long-gestating feature documentary now approaching completion, and with funding and support from Truth Department, Ffilm Cymru Wales and executive producers Michael Sheen (MASTERS OF SEX, FROST NIXON, THE QUEEN) and Sonja Henrici (MERKEL, THE OIL MACHINE). The project was selected for London Film Festival 2023 Works-in-Progress Showcase - https://www.bfi.org.uk/london-film-festival/news/projects-lff-works-progress-showcase-2023 - and will have its festival premiere in late 2024 / early 2025.
I have also made a number of short films, including my last short OUT FOR A WALK (2016) which starred Matthew Beard (THE IMITATION GAME, THE RIOT CLUB) and Saskia Reeves (OUR KIND OF TRAITOR, WOLFHALL) and screened at numerous film festivals around the world, including Drama International Short Film Festival, Filmfestival Kitzbuhel and Aesthetica Short Film Festival.
I have also worked as an in-house moving image creative for Studio four23, as a script reader and film journalist, and as an associate producer for Portland Green, where I facilitated a variety of film and video projects by leading artists and practitioners such as the Brothers Quay, Simon Keenlyside, Wayne McGregor and Lucian Freud.
Projects
- Out for a WalkA struggling young writer walks out on his life in London and moves back to his family home in the countryside. Secluding himself in one of the outbuildings opposite his parents’ house, he clings to his literary ambitions and tries to hide the anxiety he feels, until a visit from his younger sister brings everything to the surface—both his own demons and those of his affluent, high-achieving family.
