    paper The Lab Test 2025 After Movie

    Whilst working at a bouldering gym as the social media manager, I was also tasked to produce, film, and edit the after movie to the gym’s largest event of the year: The Lab Test 2025

    The regional competition attracts GB climbers from all over the UK and is quickly becoming one of Yorkshire’s best competitions on the circuit.

    paper When the Groove Stopped - A short Documentary

    This was a short Documentary created for a 48hr film-making task. We had 2 days to go out, shoot, and edit a short documentary for a university challenge set by our professor. This was the result!

    paper A morning at Almscliffe

    Whilst spending the last year in Leeds and working at a bouldering gym, I was naturally out climbing on my days off. And there’s no better place than Yorkshire crags to shoot an edit!

    Climbing outside in the frosty morning, up on the hills, in good company, is one of the best places to be. It’s a calming and almost therapeutic exercise, and one I aimed to encapsulate in this video.
