I’m a First-Class Honours Film and Television Production graduate with hands-on experience coordinating shoots, supporting professional production, and directing and self-shooting documentary content. I enjoy turning creative ideas into well-run productions—setting up call sheets, sourcing talent and crew, and making sure filming days run smoothly with clear timing, logistics, and on-location support. I’ve also built experience working independently as a freelance photographer/videographer and as the sole runner on BBC Bitesize productions, where I supported set-up, talent, and day-to-day logistics across multiple filming requirements. Alongside production work, I’m passionate about football and have produced an observational sports documentary currently in post-production, and I also write weekly Newcastle United analysis and news via Substack.
