Director Statement

I started producing films in 2015 when I started up a group called London Short Film (londonshortfilm.com). As much as I really wanted to make films I just didn't have enough knowledge to make the visions going around in my head, so I set out to create a meet up group to find other local London filmmakers to design and create great new films together. As well as producing and writing short films I have also been in the Art Design department on many others, an area I feel is key to creating the right feel for any scene.
