About

I am a versatile filmmaker, well versed in all aspects of production, including production design, directing, and producing. Do flick through my work on my website to see a selection of some of my proudest pieces, in which I worked independently and within teams of highly skilled individuals.

From creating marketing campaigns for Mazda, to directing, writing, and acting in a short film that explores a professional fly killer's plight against a fly that refuses to die, I very much enjoy nurturing initial ideas on the page into fully developed experiences on the screen.

I inject all of my work with flair and distinction to draw audiences in and keep them intrigued. Throughout all projects, as I consider the audience, I ask myself three questions; will they understand it? Will they remember it? And will they enjoy it?
