I'm Mike, a filmmaker currently based between Cardiff and Barcelona.

I've recently returned to the UK after living in Spain for about seven years and looking to make my way into the industry here. My history comes from a documentary background shooting short-form content for online platforms and clients such as BBC, EpicTV, Universal Music, France 1, Air Tahiti, Red Bull, Vans, UNMAS, ZoomIn TV, Sinfonia Cymru, Estrella Damm, Much Better Adventures, DEFRA, Culture Trip, and more.

As a personal project I also develop and produce my own independent editorial exploring creative culture in different cities, having created editions in London, Barcelona, São Paulo, and most recently Tokyo.

I'm really keen to continue my career in documentary and explore more exciting opportunities, hopefully building a career towards longer-form content as a Shooting Producer Director. I also enjoy fiction work and spend some time writing.  

Please feel free to visit my website, and let’s chat.
