About
I have been a freelance self-shooting camera operator and editor for the past 5 years and have recently co-founded a commercial and documentary production company, 'Bracken Films'.
For the past year as Bracken Films I have worked closely with a number of big, multinational corporate companies and handled every area of production from idea creation to delivery, handling budgets, schedules and client relationships.
Alongside corporate work I have been involved in a number of documentary projects including a Channel 4 funded film and Arts Council England initiatives.
As a freelancer I have worked across a multitude of roles from DIT wrangler to camera operator on broadcast, promotional, corporate and documentary projects in the UK and across Europe.
My documentary work has screened at international festivals across the globe and received an RTS award. My ideas have also been pitched to controllers at the BBC and been developed and commissioned by Channel 4 into an hour feature which is currently in production.
