About me
I'm a filmmaker and photographer with solid experience of leading a variety of creative projects. I've written and directed short films, worked as a cinematographer and been extensively involved in post-production. With expert knowledge of every aspect of the filmmaking process, I can take fledging ideas and transform them into highly-polished end products. My photography work encompasses projects with art galleries, jewellery designers, sportswear companies and many others on a range of corporate and creative briefs. If you require a filmmaker or photographer, or need creative direction or technical assistance, please get in touch!

    First Class Distinction in Modern and Contemporary Art: History, Criticism & CurationUniversity of Edinburgh
     - Edinburgh, United Kingdom
    I wrote, filmed, directed and edited a 25-minute-long film as part of my Silent Chinese Cinema module. The film won several awards at a film competition organised by The University of Edinburgh, including Best Director and Special Artistic Achievement. The film was also selected for screening at numerous film festivals across Europe. I also studied advanced continental aesthetics, with particular emphasis on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. My dissertation, which applied Heidegger's philosophy of art to Native American totems, achieved a mark of 76. This was the joint-highest mark in my cohort and placed me in the top 5% of students over the previous 5 years.
