About me
I'm a nice guy who loves directing with personality in an energetic world of magical realism. I'm a Shiny Awards Recommended director who crafts commercials, music videos and documentaries for brands and artists like Zipcar, Odeon, Rag 'n' Bone Man, Alfie Templeman and Warner Bros Discovery. My first documentary, Chasing Tokyo, was acquired by the Olympic Channel in partnership with Discovery+, selected at the Webby Awards and won Gold at the Telly Awards. I'm available wherever and whenever - say hello!
