About me
My fascination for visual storytelling has fuelled my passion to pursue a career in the film industry. After graduating from the London Film Academy I have an solid understanding of filmmaking, from writing, producing, directing, to camera, lights and sound. I use this knowledge to work in as many areas of expertise as I can and make a point to absorb and learn from everyone I work with. I pride myself on being efficient, completing tasks to the highest standards as a team player as well as a leader. I enjoy the challenge of adapting my skills with new technologies, being able to professionally handle the pressures of a film set environment as well as handling the organisation of an office. I value my career as more than a job which allows me to be inspired in everything I do and it gets me motivated in creating films and writing original stories.

-
The course consisted of learning the basics of all filmmaking aspects, from sound to camera work and from producing to editing. After having operated in every role once on several short films (written and directed by the students), a specialisation was in place in which I pursued the writing and directing path.
During the courses I have worked with and learned from professionals, such as David Pope, Gillies MacKinnon and Richard Kwietniowski (Love and Death on Long Island, Owning Mahoney), John Ward (Full Metal Jacket) and Hong Manley, Peter Hollywood (The Adventures of Baron Munchausen), Jan Harlan (The Shining), Marcia Gay (Alien 3, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow), Jeremy Sheldon, Rachel Wardlow, Mike Holden.
