About
A Northern, Queer Writer & Director (they/them). BAFTA Connect member Currently working as a Director at Guildhall School, I have also worked in Film & HETV as a Script Editor and Director’s Assistant with prolific creatives such as Ben Wheatley and companies such as Lucas Films, Netflix and MARVEL.
Now developing my own slate of work as a Writer & Director, my writing has been shortlisted for competitions through the BBC, BFI as well as most recently being a finalist at Raindance Film Festival with my script ‘Egg & Chips’ that is now in post-production. I have since been part of a fellowship writing course through Raindance Film School where I have developed my first feature film. As a writer, I approach my work with a humanistic approach and hopes to continue to write work that addresses social stigmas and how everyday characters encounter extraordinary and emotional challenges.
