documentary | filmmaker
I am a documentary filmmaker driven by a need to understand the world better, share and amplify unheard perspectives and - not least - to entertain. I have directed and shot original work for Channel 4, National Geographic, Al Jazeera, BBC World, Sky History, and the British Film Institute. I have directed and produced branded documentaries for Gay Times, UNICEF, Mastercard, Tate and Bupa. My films have screened at international film festival including DOC NYC; Ted & Noel won the Iris Audience Award, The Scarecrows was nominated for the Grierson Awards and The Pool at the RTSS TV Awards.
Beyond documentary, I love working with dance on film and immersive performance. I directed and produced my own Channel 4 First Acts film, The Pool, which screened at Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival (Bristol) and Playback Festival (ICA, London).
