About

I started my career as a Tennis Photo-Editor at the prestigious Allsport Photo Agency in London before graduating to Sports Photographer with their Mexican agent (four month contract). Returning back to Europe, I became a freelance sports photographer (portraits, action and reportage) for editorials that include GQ, Esquire and FourFourTwo.

After graduating from the London Film School in 2008 I lit over fifteen short films before producing my debut feature film The New Boy, which I also wrote, directed, lit and edited. The film premiered at the East End Film Festival 2015.

My short doc Save Me was a finalist for the ARRI Sheffield Doc Fest Short Film Competition in June 2016.

I have been a quarterfinalist in the Academy Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting (2018), top 4% in the Red Planet Prize (2020) and top 15% in the BBC Writersroom (2019) with my screenplays. I'm an Associate Playwright (2019-present) with the Rifco Theatre Company and had a rehearsed reading of an extract from my play No Left Turns at the Bush Theatre in 2019.

My directing broadcast experience includes Hollyoaks (C4, Lime Pictures) and EastEnders (BBC).

I am currently in pre-production on S22 episode 4 of Midsomer Murders (ITV, Company Pictures).
