An avid traveler, I left England at 16 and hitch-hiked my way around the world. I published various short stories inspired by these world travels, helped by my father Marius, one which was adapted to film in Canada. This began my love affair with cinema. I arrived in Montreal in 2000 with my daughter, Alyosha.

A graduate of Montreal's Concordia University cinema program, I created the award-winning "Stanley Lewis Documentary Collection" on the life of my dear friend, the Montreal sculptor, Stanley Lewis. "Dust, A Sculptor's Journey," continues to play in and around Montreal, and the main aim is to have Stanly Lewis recognized for the formidable artist he is.

My second full-length Canadian feature, "Chez Lise", is co-directed with hometown buddy, James Galwey in 2013. It follows two lovers, Deanna and Gordon who suffer from severe mental illness. It won first prize in Liège ImagéSanté for mental health, and other festivals in Canada and internationally.

2019: The Sea Hut 海边的小屋 , is a Chinese-Canadian production. Winner of three prestigious prizes in China at the Beijing Film Academy Awards and Jinan TV awards

2021: Shang Xin Fang, co-directed with Wang Ying an ethnological documentary on a community in the Yi Provence of China is winner of various prizes including Golden Tree International in Paris.

Since 2015, I have lived in China, teaching documentary film production at the Beijing Film Academy, Qingdao Campus. Currently in the UK during pandemic. Working for different associations teaching workshops on scrapbooking, digital storytelling and "how to kickstart your documentary."
