An award winning Director, I graduated from King Alfred's College, Winchester with a BA(Hons) in Drama, Theatre and Television, before completing my MSc in Film and Television from Napier University, Edinburgh.

Having been a filmmaker since 1994, I have had the opportunity to work with people such as Academy Award Nominee Gary Oldman, Terence Stamp, and Robert Carlyle. I have had four feature films produced, including "Dead Fish" and "Open Water 2: Adrift aka Adrift" and worked for New Line Cinema for three years as screenwriter on the development project "Roofworld".

I have directed, shot and cut documentaries, music promos, short films, charity resource films, and have run workshops on filmmaking in the Saharawi Refugee camps in SW Algeria, lectured extensively at Central Film School, London from 2010-2012, and SAE Institute, and ran the Film Studies 2012 Summer School for MW Summer Schools at Roedean, England. This year, I shot and cut the 52min documentary "Personal Ghosts" as well as four short films for MW Summer Schools using only smart phone technology, the first course of its kind.
I was chosen as one of the directors on 2weeks2makeit 2012 and directed the music promo "Million Piece Jigsaw" for the band DON'T MOVE! which was Runner-up in this year's competition. I have just directed and shot the music promo "On My Own" for Ashli Lee Parker (featuring Tak Ozaki) in Los Angeles (Oct 2012).

My focus has been to get films made with a range of talent, both established, emerging, and undiscovered.

There are selections of my work on my websites, all of which have been shot and cut by myself:

I am based in Los Angeles, London and Warwickshire and I shoot on the 7D, but also happy on the 5D, and cut on Final Cut Pro 7. I am Mac based in my work.

I am a UK passport holder, have a current, clean UK/EU driving license, and a current enhanced CRB.
