About me
I am a director/writer/producer and an alumni of BAFTA Crew & BFI Network X. I am also the founder of the production company 'Scene 97' under which my debut film '833' was produced. ‘833' has secured distribution deals with both Shorts International and Gaia, and they have both agreed to release the film worldwide. The film first premiered in London in 2016 and has since gone onto gain critical acclaim.  Some highlights include winning SBE’s Hamilton (New York) International Film Festival - Adam ‘The Hammer’ Heck - Strong As Heck - Inspirational Filmmaker Award (2017), picking up the award for Best UK Short Film at the London Independent Film Festival 2018 and winning the Audience Award at the San Jose International Film Festival 2016.  I am currently developing more projects under ‘Scene 97’ and our mission statement for the company is: "We are a production company that strives to produce great stories through the medium of film, while placing audience experience at the heart of what we do."
