Supported by the Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Documentary Film Fund, Wear I Am is a 20-minute documentary exploring identity, gender euphoria, chosen family and grassroots solidarity through the journey of a donated parcel of gender-affirming clothing, from Wales, across the Irish Sea to it's recipient. Following the work of TIN Wardrobe, a grassroots organisation supporting trans, non-binary and intersex communities, the film celebrates the power of small acts of kindness and the communities that make them possible. Created by a predominantly trans and queer filmmaking team, Wear I Am premiered on the opening night of the 2026 Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival, where it received an incredibly moving response from audiences. As director and editor, my approach was to create an intimate, observational documentary that moved away from traditional talking-head interviews, allowing the story to unfold through natural interactions, carefully composed visuals and stylised sequences. From production through to the final edit, I shaped the film's narrative and visual identity, balancing authenticity with a distinctive cinematic approach. Full film available privately upon request.

A selection of my work as a documentary director, spanning intimate personal stories, social issues, identity, culture and community. With over 15 years of experience in filmmaking, I'm drawn to authentic, character-led storytelling that gives space to underrepresented voices and explores the human experiences that connect us. My work ranges from independent documentaries to broadcast productions and films created in collaboration with charities and organisations, always with a focus on empathy, curiosity and meaningful storytelling. Every project featured in this showreel was also edited and colour graded by me, with the majority additionally involving my work as cinematographer, overseeing camera and lighting. I also edited and colour graded the showreel itself. This reflects my hands-on, multidisciplinary approach to filmmaking, and my ability to shape a story both creatively and technically, from initial concept through to final delivery.

Olympiacos: The Legend is the epic story of a season that defied all expectations and rewrote European football history. In 2023/24, Olympiacos shattered barriers by becoming the first Greek club to win a European trophy-and didn't stop there. In a feat never before accomplished, they claimed not one but two major continental titles: the UEFA Europa Conference League and the UEFA Youth League. As Director of Photography, I was responsible for establishing and overseeing the film's visual approach, including cinematography, lighting and camera direction. Alongside the traditional responsibilities of a DoP, I also worked extensively as a hands-on camera operator throughout production, capturing observational footage, B-roll and the details that helped bring the story to life. The role combined creative leadership with practical filmmaking, allowing me to shape the documentary's visual identity while remaining actively involved in capturing the footage on screen. Working across a large-scale international production, I balanced the technical and creative demands of documentary cinematography with the flexibility and instinct needed to capture authentic, unscripted moments. Full film available to watch on Amazon Prime Video, subject to regional availability - https://www.twine.net/signin

The Dragon on My Shirt is a five-part documentary series exploring the relationship between Welsh football, identity, race and belonging, examining the experiences of ethnically diverse communities and their connection to the national game. Presented by writer and academic Darren Chetty, the series explores what it means to be Welsh, challenging perceptions of national identity and celebrating the diverse voices and experiences that contribute to modern Wales. As co-writer, director and co-editor, I helped shape the series from development through to final delivery, working across research, narrative structure, filming and post-production. My approach centred on creating engaging, accessible storytelling that encouraged conversation around important social issues while remaining grounded in personal experiences. Created as part of the FAW's Red Wall+ initiative, with support from the Welsh Government's Anti-Racist Wales funding. The trailer is featured here, with the full five-part series available to watch online here - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd-d1P4uYpPW9eEjJ1Bh0gOezeffvGu0j&si=6nDy5jq-DfV3mzTz

Created as part of the Sheffield DocFest Filmmaker Challenge 2026, in association with Prime Video Pathway, Wannabe Me is a personal short documentary exploring identity, nostalgia and the lasting influence of the Spice Girls on a young queer person growing up in 1990s Wales. Selected as one of four Welsh filmmakers to take part in the challenge, I was tasked with creating a three-minute documentary with just one day to shoot and one day to edit. Working with an extremely limited budget, I took on multiple roles throughout production, including directing, cinematography, lighting and location sound recording. Although the final edit was completed remotely by an editor, I approached the shoot with the edit firmly in mind, carefully planning coverage, visual sequences and narrative structure. I subsequently provided a detailed paper edit to guide the remote editing process, demonstrating my ability to shoot for the edit and shape a cohesive story under tight time constraints. The result is an intimate, playful and nostalgic film about growing up, finding yourself and the unexpected ways our childhood obsessions can help us understand who we are.

Created after several years working as a filmmaker aboard cruise ships, this reel brings together footage I captured while travelling and filming around the world. I was responsible for every aspect of its creation, from cinematography and colour grading to the final edit. Produced at a time when custom transitions were largely built manually within Adobe Premiere Pro, every transition in this reel was designed and created from scratch, requiring careful planning, technical precision and creative problem-solving. For me, editing has always been about more than assembling beautiful images. I want to take the viewer on a journey, creating a sense of movement, rhythm and progression that connects each shot to the next. This reel is perhaps the clearest example of that philosophy, using the very nature of travel to guide the storytelling. It's a celebration of the places I've explored, the experiences I've captured and my passion for finding creative ways to connect images through editing.
