I am a London based filmmaker.

I graduated in Economics and spent a few years working in the City. One day I decided to leave, and, after many adventures which included much travelling, working as a DJ and in film finance, I enrolled at the The London Film School to learn the craft of filmmaking. I am currently developing feature films and TV projects and freelance as a filmmaker.
