After capturing the raw energy of Camden’s local bands, I transitioned into promo directing, where I not only directed but also composed music for my projects, earning a UK MVA nomination for my band’s music video.
Over the years, I've directed music videos and commercials for major brands and independent artists alike. My passion for storytelling led me to write and direct my first short film, ROGER, featuring John Bradley and Seann Walsh. This project kickstarted my journey into filmmaking, resulting in nine additional short films and a documentary, which have been showcased at over 100 prestigious film festivals worldwide, including several BAFTA and Academy-qualifying ones, and have garnered multiple Méliès d'Argent nominations.
In 2024, I optioned two spec scripts to US companies, The Forge and About It Films, with myself attached as director for both.
As a filmmaker, I am driven to create unique, character-focused stories that challenge the ordinary and explore the strange and surreal. My work is about pushing boundaries, taking risks, and inspiring others to do the same.
