Having been born in England, growing up in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, completing higher study in London, England and travelling between the two for work, I have experienced a variety of cultures and ways of life. This diversity extends to my own English, Chinese, Malaysian, Scottish and Italian heritage.
I graduated with a BA in Film Studies from Queen Mary University of London while also having studied philosophy, psychology and sociology and business practices in conjunction with film. As well as studying the social sciences in film I also studied Hollywood and British film marketing and promotional practices, understanding the roles social media marketing plays and how it coincides with traditional promotion practices.
Recently I have produced four independent short films and several music videos. I have a significant amount of experience in film. This includes working on commercial film projects, pilots and event coverage for automobile magazine company ZeroToHundred in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as well as several creative projects ranging from short to feature length films in the UK. When I can, I dedicate my time to working on film projects for charities and non profit organisations. When directing or writing for film or other platforms, thought provoking storytelling, eye catching and memorable visuals is what interests and inspires me the most.

- Bringing Home PeterBringing Home Peter is the first of two technical demonstrations of the up and coming company Little Grand Road and as much as we can acknowledge our ability to perform well, and under pressure, this film will serve to provide an original standpoint to our company. Bringing Home Peter is a claustrophobic slice of life drama with a hint of mystery between a returning soldier and his wife. But all is not as it seems as the United Kingdom is in a state of war, reminiscent of the first and second
