I am a mostly self taught writer/director. I started my film career studying courses at Raindance Film School and the Islington Community Centre where I began to write and direct plays. I found a passion for directing actors. My first taste of work came when I directed amateur music videos for an independent record label. My ambition was to become a director of films so I started my independent production company and put this into action. Under Pattern Maker Films I have written, directed and produced eight short films and two feature films. With the industry changing, I’ve adapted to become an end-to-end videographer, combining direction, camera work, editing and colour grading to deliver beautiful images and stories with an uncompromising commitment to excellence.
