I'm a Scottish filmmaker based in the United States. I'm a graduate of the BA Digital Film and TV (1st Classification) course from the RCS (former RSAMD) in Glasgow and I have been producing music videos, short films and corporate videos for over 10 years. I have even spent 6 years in development as joint-writer on a TV show entitled The JOB for the BBC.
My passion is in filmmaking. A self confessed cinephile, I draw from my inspirations from my love in cinema, bringing in concepts from the core principles of classic cinema with current modern techniques. I'm a practical filmmaker with a love for analogue elements with a strong focus on performance and storytelling, with tales that focus on relationships, distancing, isolation and loneliness and the finer nuances of the human character. My “look” has been referred to as “inky” with a very deliberate use of camera movement and kinetic shooting style with tight, paced, dramatic edits.
With previous experience as a Director of Photography, I have spent the last few years producing a number of low/no-budget music videos and self-funded short films. I am available for short films in varying capacities, music videos, corporate and conceptual, from all aspects of the production; ideas generation, treatment writing, storyboarding, production, shooting, editing and delivery.
