About Me

the story so far...
I’m an award-winning writer / director of short films with a life-long love of cinema and a keen interest in film theory and history. I’m a hard-working, upbeat person who is happiest when on a set collaborating on creating dramatic, entertaining and moving stories.
After 16 years working in the Film & TV industry in the camera dept, and writing and directing short films, I feel I’m ready to make the step up to directing drama professionally, and am currently looking for my first broadcast opportunity.

Details from my career

Directing

My films have been selected for 27 Film festivals and picked up 6 awards. Recently I was invited to direct a scene on Sky One drama Agatha Raisin, and selected to direct the BBC Casualty Christmas Film. You can see my work on the Films page of this website

Camera Dept
