I am a freelancer director and editor based in Oxford.
My short film about human trafficking "Ruxi: The Road To Slavery" has been selected for Amnesty International "Au Cinéma pour les Droits Humains" 2019. It has played at a number of other festivals worldwide.
I have worked with OxfordVR, NHS Oxford Academic Health Sciences Network, Modern Art Oxford and Oxford Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma.
For OxfordVR, I made a series of short documentaries following patients through a course of VR-based therapy for fear of heights.
I also have worked as an AP, Researcher, Runner, PA and Camera Trainee. I am looking to expand my set of contacts and progress to making or working on larger scale branded content and documentaries. I have a passion for human rights and mental health related content.
