I've been a professional filmmaker since 2007 - working as a director, editor and visual effects artist, both in-house and as a freelancer.
I've directed content for clients including - BBC, Channel 4, Grain Media, Casual Films, Vice, Lego, De Beers, Lloyds, Tesco, Adidas and Rolls Royce.
When it comes to VFX, I draw upon my formative experiences working on Oscar & BAFTA winning projects at Framestore (on films including The Dark Knight, Avatar & Where The Wild Things Are). I am adept at conceiving and executing sequences with both live-action and full CGI, often blending the two extensively. Due to my dual experiences as a director and editor I feel this makes both phases run smoother, cultivating creative solutions to complement and strengthen both.
