Creative storytelling through the medium of film has always fascinated me; how filmmakers take audiences on a journey through the stories and worlds they create.
The process of bringing stories alive for the screen is one of the many things that I enjoy as a Director, Writer & Producer.
I’m an alumni of BAFTA Crew & BFI Network X and the founder of the film production company Scene 97.
My debut short film ‘833’ was met with strong acclaim on the international festival circuit, winning multiple awards and securing distribution deals with Shorts International and Gaia. Key accolades include 'Best UK Short Film' at the London Independent Film Festival (2018), the 'Adam 'The Hammer' Heck - Strong As Heck - Inspirational Filmmaker Award' at the SBE’s Hamilton International Film Festival in New York (2017), and an 'Audience Award' at the San Jose International Film Festival (2016).
Building on that success, my latest film ‘Downward Seb’ garnered international recognition and showcased my versatility across genres. Notable honors include awards from the Shockfest Film Festival, Phoenix Film Festival, and Madrid Film Festival, among others.
Under Scene 97, I continue to develop more projects whilst placing the audience experience at the heart of what I do.

Writer/Director Set to the backdrop of modern day London, 833 is a feel good short using comedy drama to get everyone cheering for our protagonist Jake. Hopes and dreams have become a distant, seemingly unattainable thing of the past for Jake, and instead his life has unwittingly become nothing more than a mundane and banal existence. Destined to be forever single, and wound up in a dead end job where he answers to Mr Burrows... a bigoted bully of the highest order, Jake's future looks bleak at best! But a morning journey to work throws up a much needed tonic in Mrs Miller, a wheelchair bound lady, who sees the world through different eyes. Jake knows his destiny, and ultimate happiness lies in his hands... but can he find a way to break the perpetual cycle and channel his inner hero?! Whilst the main theme of the film essentially focuses on the daily struggles of everyday men and women, an important element also touches on the issues of how people with disabilities are viewed in modern day society, ...
