After honing my skills by capturing the raw energy of local bands in Camden with my camera, I embarked on a mission to break into the world of promo directing by taking a daring leap - not only directing, but also writing the music for my projects, resulting in a UK MVA nomination for my band's music video.
After spending the next few years directing music videos and commercials for a range of clients, including major brands and independent artists, I decided to follow my passion for writing genre films and wrote my first short ‘ROGER’ as a proof of concept for a feature film, featuring acclaimed actor John Bradley (Game of Thrones) and comedian Seann Walsh. Since then, I have directed seven more shorts and a documentary, which have captivated audiences at over one hundred prestigious film festivals worldwide, earning multiple Méliès d'Argent nominations and other prestigious awards.
As a filmmaker, I'm constantly driven to create unique and thought-provoking worlds that take audiences on a journey outside of their everyday lives. I believe that characters are at the heart of every great story, and my work is heavily focused on developing them in unconventional ways. Whether it's exploring the strange and surreal, or delving into the darker aspects of human nature, I always strive to create films that are both entertaining and thought-provoking. For me, filmmaking is about pushing boundaries and taking risks, and I'm constantly inspired by those who are willing to do the same.
