About
An Award Winning Film Director and Filmmaker from the East Midlands with a passion for Directing, Filmmaking, Storytelling, Cinema and High End TV Drama.
Have been making films for Three years and at the beginning of my filmmaking career. The previous Three years was working as a Runner and assistant on independent projects and mainstream Television programmes (Including taking a Assistant Director traineeship under Trainee Finder). Left the Mainstream industry at the entry level to pursue my passion for Film Directing and Filmmaking with a plan to return as a Director at the professional level.
Writing and Direct my own short films and projects on the independent level, motivated in a long term career in High End Television Drama and Feature length films as a Director in the Mainstream and studio level.
Have had success with Short films in the Film Festival Circuit with Award nominations & award Winner and screenings nationally and internationally in Leicester, Nottingham, Derby, London, Amsterdam, Paris, New York and Los Angeles.
Currently working with the Prince's Trust to launch my own Videography business to work with local businesses in my area. And making my own independent short films, promotional videos and events. Gaining experience as a Director and Filmmaker.
Gaps in work history have been times seeking employment, working below the line positions in Film and TV and working in non-media industry employment.
Non-Media related roles include; Admininstration and Office work, Customer service, Call centre operator, unskilled labour, retail, performing arts/Theatre Production and volunteering.
Additional skills outside of Directing includes; Writing, Cinematography, Producing, Sound Operating, Editing and Acting at the Independent/Entry level.
