I am a UK-based documentary filmmaker with a passion for real stories that challenge perceptions and drive positive change. My journey into filmmaking began in 2016 as a videographer, which is where I discovered the power of storytelling.

While volunteering at Starfield Farm Animal Sanctuary, I discovered a connection between farm animals and the companion animal we have on our own in our homes. This led to my first short film, Saved by Jane (2022), a 6-minute documentary about Jane Baker’s mission to rescue and rehome over 130 farm animals. The film was selected for nine festivals, winning six awards, including Best Short Documentary and a Green Planet Award.

Since then, I have focused on resilience, ethical living, and underrepresented voices through documentary filmmaking. My second film, Held by the Water (co-directed with Will Reddaway), follows wild swimmer Fiona Holden as she embraces cold water swimming for mental and physical well-being.

As an emerging filmmaker, my ethics shape my storytelling. I am drawn to films that challenge societal norms, promote compassion, and highlight the power of a plant-based lifestyle.

My latest documentary, More Like Paul, follows 87-year-old vegan ultra-marathon runner Paul Youd, who is attempting to complete 100 ultramarathons before his 100th birthday. I first learned about Paul’s story through a friend, and his journey immediately stood out. He defies stereotypes about ageing, endurance, and veganism, embodying the values I explore through my work.

I am currently developing new documentary projects, including A Bag for Life, which explores what it’s like to live with a stoma, continuing my commitment to bold, character-driven storytelling that reshapes perspectives and inspires action.
