Plymouth born and bred, from Glaswegian parents, I started off an obsessive little cartoonist, progressing to writing stories, composing music and then, inevitably, filmmaking. Throughout my 20s I wrote, directed, edited, and scored dozens of short films, mostly comedies, mostly awful, and mostly lost to the sands of internet time (thankfully).

While finishing a series of comedy shorts named The Super Glue Fiend (of which, we found out later, Alex Garland was a fan), I was diagnosed with MS. This was, as you'd expect, super inconvenient, putting an autoimmune-disease-shaped spanner in the works for a few years. After coming to terms with the obligatory depressive fallout from this, I dabbled in the music world for a while, before moving to Australia for several months, then returning to begin an undergraduate degree in filmmaking at The University of the West of England.

Graduating in 2017, my final year film Pre Retro enjoyed some festival circuit success having been selected, amongst others, by The National Association for Higher Education in the Moving Image and 2018's Royal Television Society Student Awards as one of the top student films of the year.

Now, having completed short horror comedy Council House and Violent, I am developing a handful of feature projects, and animating a series of comedy shorts set in the fictional town of Plymouth, UK (based specifically on the actual real life Plymouth, UK).
