    uniE608 Directing Experience (Showreel)
    When directing even as a student I always tried to challenge the conditions given and give out a level higher than expected. For example, I was the first student on my course to build a set for my first short film of the year and my graduation project two years later included 39 cast members as well as 16 set changes. In my films I like to explore the simple things that make us human - but putting them into unexpected worlds and scenarios. This way, my biggest project to date - the feature film "In Your Own Time", written by Dario Reed - takes place in a simple garage in London but combines characters from past and present and includes practical effects of time travel. I enjoy challenges, fantasy, sci-fi, abstract and mysterious stories - as well as simple drama and comedy. The projects I directed include: In Your Own Time (feature film, 2025) Swan Songs (short film, 2025) Swan Songs Crowdfund (factual short, 2024) Scattered (short documentary, 2024) Sanctum (web-series ep 1, 2024) Barriers (short film, 2023) Border and Boundaries (short film, 2023) As well as a few miscellaneous moments. filmdirector film musicvideo director scifi fantasy
