I’m a highly experienced freelance filmmaker, video editor, and writer/director specialising in cinematic storytelling, immersive visuals, and AI-enhanced production workflows. My work sits at the intersection of film, music culture, and emerging technology. I create emotionally charged, visually striking content — from trailers and mood reels to branded films, music visuals, and experimental XR/AR concepts. I’m particularly drawn to projects that blur reality, push atmosphere, and build strong narrative worlds. Recent work includes developing high-concept AI-generated film trailers, immersive music performance visuals, and spatial video experiences designed for AR/XR environments. I combine traditional filmmaking craft (structure, pacing, performance, tone) with cutting-edge tools to deliver bold, future-facing content. Services I offer: • Professional video editing (trailers, branded content, music, documentary) • Concept development & visual direction • Scriptwriting & story development • AI-assisted content creation workflows • Mood reels & pitch films • Immersive / experimental visual projects Whether you need a sharp, story-driven edit or a visionary director to shape your idea from concept to screen, I bring cinematic thinking, technical innovation, and a strong artistic voice to every project.
