About me
I am a freelance self-shooting filmmaker and producer with a curious and original eye. A highly motivated, multi-skilled and versatile creative, I have experience in a range of roles across film, TV and production, including for Channel 4, Arte.tv, BBC4 and more. My work has been commissioned by clients such as Adidas, Benjamin Clementine and the European Union . I was selected as a Sundance Ignite Fellow in 2023, and was the recipient of the Directing Mentorship Programme at the Polish National Film School in Łódź in 2021. I received a 1st Class (Hons) degree in Photography in 2019, where my work won multiple awards. My films have been selected for international festivals.
