I’m a UK-based screenwriter working across film, games, and short-form media, with a focus on high-concept genre storytelling grounded in psychological and thematic depth. My credits include the feature film 13 Days to Summer (2025), which won Best Director at Fantastic Fest 2025. My next feature, PigSoul, is a supernatural horror that has received financing and is currently in pre-production. Alongside this, I have written commissioned screenplays, award-winning short films, and narrative design for the Norse-inspired game Blood Bond: Into the Shroud. My editorial work includes features for outlets such as WhatCulture and TheGamer, covering film, television, and game narrative. I hold a Master’s degree in Screenwriting via MET Film School, where my graduation project, In the Halls of Valhalla, was later acquired and adapted into the Blood Bond game project. Whether writing for screen or interactive media, within or about genre, I bring a focused, enthusiastic approach that has led to produced work.
