Over the years I’ve worked with the BBC, Amazon Prime, Volvo, BFI, Creamfields, Pirelli, Jon Denton (500k subs) and plenty more across film, YouTube and business content.
I’m big on making things look and feel cinematic, whether it’s a short film, a YouTube video or a corporate interview. I’m obsessive with colour, sound and polish because that’s what makes the difference between “ok” and standout.
Right now I’m open to new work, editing, animation, motion graphics and VFX. Always up for a good challenge and new collaborations.

A BBC-backed short film exploring authenticity, disability, and representation in cinema, edited by Joe Grayston.
Verisimilitude is a BBC Two short film commissioned for the Festival of Funny: Shorts strand, written by David Proud and directed by Justin Edgar. The story follows Doctor Who star Ruth Madeley - playing Bella, a disabled actress frustrated by the lack of authentic opportunities in the industry, who finds herself hired as a disability consultant for a rising British star’s next role. Satirical and sharp, the film explores themes of authenticity, ambition, and representation in cinema, spotlighting how disabled voices are too often sidelined in stories meant to be about them.
