I spent my early twenties travelling the world making short films in the USA, Australia and Germany. In 2012 I studied Film Making at The New York Film Academy in Manhattan. 2 years later I studied Screenwriting at The NYFA campus in Los Angeles. This period was an invaluable cultural and educational experience in which I wrote, produced and directed short films.
In 2017 I raised the budget to fund my feature film debut ‘Some Kind of Love’. I assembled a crew and shot the feature over 12 consecutive days in Hull. To date the film has won at 4 film festivals. It was a winner at The Accolade Global Film Competition in November 2018 and won at The Global Lift-Off Sessions in January 2019 as well as winning The Festival Director’s Award at The Unrestricted View Film Festival. It has also been selected at The Independent Talents International Film Festival and won Best Director at The Great Northern Creative Expo 2019.
In 2020 my short film ‘Downtown’ won Best Art Direction at The UVFF in London.
In 2021 I wrote, produced, directed & edited my second feature film ‘Low Rollers’ - which to date has won 6 awards including Best Director at the Indie Spark Movies Film Festival and Best Indie Feature at the Europe Film Festival. The film is now available on Amazon Prime.
In 2024, I wrote, produced, directed and edited my 3rd feature film 'Hustle & Cuss' which is currently on the festival circuit.
