About me

After graduating with a BA Hons in Film Studies from Queen Mary, University of London (2008-11), I began writing and directing my first feature film, the science fiction thriller, Through The Lens. This was made for £20,000, securing financial backing from O2, Reflexblue and the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation. The film was released through Entertainment One (EOne) on major platforms including Amazon Prime, GooglePlay, iTunes, Sony Playstation Network, Xbox Video, Hudu and secured a US DVD release in November 2017.

I have directed and edited films that have won awards at UNICEF, miShorts and a number of film festivals. Films I have produced have also been used in nationwide campaigns for charities such as OCD Action.

In 2009 I set up Spark In The Dark productions, a production company specialising in narrative dramas, and documentaries, alongside promotional, corporate, and advertising content.

I then went on to work for Heni Publishing, editing and shooting a wide range of documentaries and educational content on Art and Art History.

I recently made the move to CamBioScience, a Science and Technology company, where I head up the companies film and video department, producing short form documentaries, as well as educational and commercial content for a range of clients.
