About me
I'm a self-shooting director and editor who strives to make films with a strong sense of empathy and compassion. I'm passionate about working with people and brands to tell their stories in their words. With a background in anthropology I spent many years as a film ethnographer, creating films for public sector institutions and brands to help inform and shape policy. As a self-shooter and editor I've worked with clients such as Alzheimer’s Research UK, Arts Council England, Greenpeace UK and The Barbican. Beyond filmmaking, my written work has featured in Delayed Gratification, and photographic work in Latterly Magazine.
