About me
Creative Director at Shakehaus by day, Film Writer, Director & Editor at night. I am an imaginative mind who leads the creative process from ideation to completion. I love strong storytelling and thrive on helping companies of all sizes to communicate their brand message in original and entertaining ways. This is why I've co-founded Shakehaus, a video advertising and production company in Edinburgh, Scotland. I've worked as a corporate filmmaker in France, for Events, Retailers, Public Transport Services & Manufacturers, with a Filmmaking Professional Bachelor degree and Communication studies in my pockets. I attended and graduated from a MA Film (Screen Academy Scotland) to take a step further toward creative video advertising/fiction and gained more production experience at the highest level, on the sets of big budget BBC dramas and several high-end commercials. I'm always looking for collaborations and take on freelance jobs as a writer, director and editor. PS: The Cake is a Lie

    Event Horizon - Short FilmIn a time when Pluto is still the 9th planet of the solar system, and music tracks need to be rewind, Julianne, who knows that childhood doesn’t last long but being an adult lasts forever, refuses to grow up too quickly and to let go of her estranged friend. When her fear of the unknown manifests itself in the shape of a mysterious cosmic object, she must overcome her old self and embrace what lies ahead.
  • Deutsche Bank Awards for Creative Enterprise #DBACE 2017
    Deutsche Bank Awards for Creative Enterprise #DBACE 2017 The Deutsche Bank Awards for Creative Enterprise is a very attractive opportunity for young artists, but DBACE lacked broad awareness. Every arts student in the UK should know about it. We thought it was a shame that this was not the case and we wanted to help the people behind DBACE to change that. The film was meant to be atmospheric, informative and inspiring. The aim was to say: "Creatives: we know who you are, what you aspire to, your struggles and we are here to help".
