About me
I am a LAFTA* award-winning filmmaker and creative from Lincoln, selected for BFI Network x BAFTA Crew 2019. I graduated from the University for the Creative Arts in 2011 and hold a BA in Film Production. I was Working Title Films in-house Digital Content Producer, a position created for me after finishing my internship on their coveted Action! program that began in 2013. I concepted, shot and edited stills and video for delivery across Working Title’s social platforms and major studio marketing campaigns, with a focus on ‘Behind The Scenes’ content. I have worked closely with directors, producers and talent on films such as Cats, Yesterday, Mary Queen of Scots, Darkest Hour and Bridget Jones’s Baby. My short films have played at festivals around the world, most notably, Heavy Weight was officially selected for BFI Flare London LGBT Film Festival 2017, London Short Film Festival 2017 and was part of the BFI and British Council’s #FiveFilms4Freedom; and Wrenched was nominated for Best UK Short at East End Film Festival 2018 *The Lincolnshire Awards For Film Teamwork Achievement (Jim Broadbent is the patron). I won the award for outstanding contribution to filmmaking back in 2008, I may have got a trophy, I definitely won a limo ride although I am still yet to claim it…
