I'm a visually driven director, producer and post-production editor based in London. I hold an MA in Film Theory from University College London (UCL), and have worked across film, television and journalism. My background in reportage and passion for visual storytelling led the way towards my filmmaking début with the award-winning short documentary, 'Revolutionary Roads', which enjoyed major festival successes and went on to win the Current TV Short Cuts prize. Since then, I set up an independent production label Crimson Black Productions, and have gone on to create a number of visually striking and successively ambitious short films like 'Piranha' and 'Unskin', as a prelude to my current feature length film projects in development. In response to the Covid-19 lock-downs, I created a global community arts video platform for creatives to share their voices with each other, called 'We Are Not Alone', which is shaping up to be a historical and cultural record of the crisis.
