About
After several self-produced short films, I created 3 introspective documentaries detailing my life experiences living with Asperger's Syndrome. One of which "Asperger's: And What Of It?" received attention as a finalist in the National Autistic Society's "Autism Uncut" Film Festival of 2017.
From this, I was approached by a Producer to create my professionally credited BFI-funded, award-winning short film "Snapshot".
Recently, I have Directed an upcoming Horror short named "Small Changes."
Following on from this, I was successfully chosen for an Arts Residency with Metal Culture in Peterborough, developing an anthology of short films that challenge the perpetuated stereotypes, that disabled people are either seen as lazy or lionised as celestial superheroes with unrealistic expectations from others.
I have also been intermittently drafting my debut feature length screenplay for the past decade or so.
Present and upcoming projects aspire to be based on life experiences and societal observations, exploring; fortitude, subjectivity, objectivity, introspection and inner conflict within the world around us.
Social realist stories, blended within Psychological Drama and experimenting with various other aspects of other genres, story depending.

Experience
-
Writer/Director
I am exploring the perpetuated false narrative that “All people on benefits are lazy” or lionised by developing a series of short fictional film vignettes capturing often underrepresented voices within the City of Peterborough, that in turn would resonate with other working class voices nationwide, both niche and universal in nature.
