About me

I'm an award winning director based in London specialising in short films, music videos, TV commercials and content with a visual effects and design sensibility.

I'm attracted to great writing and fresh ideas with simple and universal truths at their heart.

I've worked with leading agencies and broadcasters including; BBC, Red Bee Media, Sky Creative, ITV, Channel 4, The Mill+, Mainframe, Karmarama, Kream, Krowd, AMV BBDO, McCann, Mcgarrybowen and AKQA London and directed multiple TV campaigns for the BBC including; BBC Proms, Glastonbury, BBC World News and BBC Four.

I've recently directed a short film inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke's poem 'Gravity's Law', commissioned by Channel 4 Random Acts and shot on location at the Barbican Centre in London.

'Gravity's Law' has been screened in festivals internationally including; East End Film Festival, Aesthetica Short Film Festival and at The Barbican cinemas.

It's a featured short film on The Creators Project, Film Shortage, Fubiz, The Barbican, David Reviews and is a VOTD winner.
