About me

I am a Film Director and Creative with over 30 years experience in the industry, predominately across Commercials, Sponsorship and Music Videos. My areas of expertise include writing, pitching and directing across varied commercial projects, liasing with external clients and overseeing jobs from inception to completion across a wide range of budgets and timeframes.

Clients and brands I have written and directed for include Microsoft XBox, Ocado, L'Oreal, Paramount Pictures, Pringles, McDonalds, Vitabiotics, Very.Co.Uk, Reed.Co.Uk, British Gas, Tepilo, Novotel Hotels, Jackpot Casino, Express Newspapers and more.

My directing work has ranged from small tabletop setups to large-scale studio and location scenarios, and from purely action orientated sequences to dialogue based performance. I have regularly worked with different animation and visual effects techniques and have a thorough knowledge of all aspects of the film production process. As well as shooting at many of the large London Studios, I have historically shot in various locations across Britain, and directed jobs in Dublin, Paris, and Los Angeles.

As a creative I am fully aware of new media platforms and am fully committed to working with clients and production departments as part of a team to get the best possible result for both brand and project.
