I'm an artist and filmmaker, originally from Reading.
My films often take the shape of stories about the mysteries of ourselves, the world around us and sometimes the world beyond.
Before coming to film, I cut my teeth in painting and household DIY, a combined education that informed my approach to everything.
In 2010 I was acceptd into the Berlinale Talent Campus.
My short film, 'Jittertree' screened at national and european festivals. Jittertree recieved nominations for 'Best Experimental' at European Independent Film Festival and Screentest Film Festival, and 'Best Young Filmmaker' at Corona Fastnet Film Festival.
I have been commissioned by The Roundhouse Camden to make 'Bug Lightning' and won the IdeasTap Shorts Fund, with which I made 'Street Spirit', which was screened at Raindance Film Festival and nominated for 'Best Art House' at Corona Fastnet Film Festival among other screenings.
I am in post production on two short films made over 2013-2014:
'Lowdown, Up Above' - A no-budget short shot in Ann Arbor, Michigan - About two blue collar friends who are forced to confront their dreams, futures and friendship when one of them buys a new car.
A short tentatively called 'Circadian Rhythms' - which was orginally made as part of the sci-fi 48 hour film competition - About a boy with a mysterious condition that compulss him to sleep run at night and the effect this has on his family.
