Director Statement

Introspective and passionate writer, film maker and editor. Over 15 years experience producing a variety of creative, corporate and commercial work. Passions lie in self producing projects based upon my own written work.

I am the creative lead on most elements of pre and post production, all concept design and production creation, writing, direction, editing and soundtrack. Some may rightly say that I’ve undertaken too much, I’d say that I haven’t quite done enough.
