About

Hey! I am a writer, director, and actor working across film and theatre, creating atmospheric stories driven by characters and expressive visual language. Blending naturalism with expressionist imagery, my work explores identity, memory, masculinity, and human connection through emotionally charged worlds.

I hold a Master’s in Writing for Performance from the University of Cambridge and am a co-founder of the Threepenny Collective. My work has been showcased at the Cannes Festival, the BFI IMAX, Hollyshort Film Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe and the Avignon OFF-Festival.
