About me
Award-winning director and film designer based in the Midlands. Before moving to directing, I first started working in the film industry as an art director and costume designer, which gives me a strong eye for visual detail in every film I make. Winner of the MMBF Rising Star award in 2017. BFI Guru x BAFTA Crew participant 2018 & 2019. IMDB #4965413. I founded the indie production company Triskelle Pictures Ltd. in 2008, and it became a Prince's Trust supported business in 2020. Our credits include the short films 'Stop/Eject' (Raindance 2014, BAFTA Longlist 2015), 'Night Owls' (LSFF 2016, and winner of 17 awards), and the musical fantasy 'Songbird', starring the X Factor's Janet Devlin. My team and I bring our proven experience in short-form narrative filmmaking to every video we make for our clients - so please get in touch, and let us tell your story!
