About me
I’ve directed major television commercials in the UK and USA, and most recently completed a Feature Documentary which premiered on Sky. I cut my teeth working as an editor and camera operator on high-end TV commercials and promo's for Arctic Monkeys, Canon and Sony. Having collaborated in the creation of the signature installation of International Expo Zaragoza, a multimedia installation which encouraged contemplation about the ecological, physical, chemical and historical significance of water to life on Planet Earth, I made a move into directing. My short film, ‘Method Actor’ premiered at Cannes and was picked at top film festivals. I then created the USA TV launch commercial for the Range Rover Evoque which led to many other TV commercials for global brands. I'm currently producing and directing feature documentaries amongst continued advertising work.

    Range Rover "Power of Presence" USA TV CommercialThe idea behind the launch of the Range Rover Evoque was executed as a social experiment. The car designers brief was to create a car with presence.
