I’m a film director and screenwriter based in Reigate, with experience creating and developing short films from script to final edit. During my studies, I directed two short films, built detailed and imaginative scripts, and strengthened my editing skills using tools like DaVinci Resolve and Pro Tools while collaborating closely with like-minded people. I’m detail-oriented, collaborative, and passionate about shaping strong storytelling through direction, cinematography, and post-production. I’ve also supported post-production and editing work, created storyboards and design/planning for film projects, and built my craft through hands-on roles ranging from storyboarding and lighting to voiceover and research and development for new work.
