Filmmaker. Screenwriter. Storyteller with a hands-on attitude. I’ve written screenplays that have gone on to become short films, and I’ve taken two of my own ten-minute projects from concept to completion. One is a gritty British gangster film that I wrote, directed, produced, and edited myself — a love letter to the genre, and currently being prepped for festival submission. The other is a documentary exploring the experiences of young neurodivergent people navigating modern society — a project close to my heart and shaped by real voices. I’m just as comfortable leading a set as I am building something from the ground up. During university, I also worked on History In The Making, a historical drama filmed with a 30-person crew, where I primarily served as Assistant Director (and occasionally as boom op/sound recordist). It was one of my earliest on-set credits — and a crash course in large-scale collaboration. I bring focus, drive, and a grounded sense of storytelling to everything I work on. Whether it’s high drama or grounded realism, I’m here to help bring strong ideas to screen.
