Starting out by capturing the raw energy of Camden’s local bands through my lens, I made a bold leap into promo directing, taking on roles as director, writer, and composer for my projects. My early efforts led to a UK Music Video Award nomination for my band’s music video, marking the start of a career driven by a pursuit of originality and unfiltered storytelling.
Since then, I’ve directed music videos and commercials for both major brands and independent artists, always focused on bringing authentic, memorable stories to life. I wrote and directed my first genre short, ROGER, as a proof of concept for a feature, starring John Bradley (Game of Thrones) and comedian Seann Walsh. To date, I’ve directed nine additional shorts and a documentary, with screenings at over one hundred prestigious festivals worldwide, including many BAFTA and Academy-qualifying events, earning multiple Méliès d’Argent nominations along the way.
In 2024, two of my spec scripts were optioned by US production companies, Rocket Soul and About It Films, with myself attached as director for both.
I strive to create stories that transport audiences beyond the expected, exploring characters and themes in ways that challenge conventions. I’m passionate about crafting films that dive into the surreal or complex sides of human nature, balancing entertainment with thought-provoking content. For me, filmmaking is about pushing boundaries, taking risks, and carving new paths — a drive that I share with those who seek fresh perspectives in storytelling.
I am a BAFTA and Directors UK member and proudly part of the neurodiverse and Deaf communities, committed to celebrating the unique strengths that different perspectives bring to film.
