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.

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. The aim is to have Stanly Lewis recognised and appreciated.

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.

2023-4: My latest documentary: THE GRAPE PICKERS - LE TEMPS DES VENDANGEURS, has won two awards and screened at the cinem'aude, Tuchan, France

From 2015 - 2020 I lived in China, teaching documentary film production at the Beijing Film Academy, Qingdao Campus.

Since the pandemic I relocated back to Europe moving between France and the UK, where I teach documentary, digital storytelling and scrapbooking at KCC Adult Ed. I create free production Blogs on my website, give film production workshops and write a monthly Substack article about amazing people and places I meet and how they influence me.
