About me

I am an experienced Self-shooting Producer Director and Camera/Steadicam Operator with a journalistic eye and a natural flair for storytelling. I've worked across six continents and in hostile and challenging environments. My broadcast credits include Discovery Channel's GOLD RUSH, Gringo Favelado (Amazon Prime/GLOBO Brazil) and diverse DV Director & DoP credits on charity and branded content productions for GQ, Bentley, The Princes Trust, COS and others. As a filmmaker I'm well rounded, confident, adaptable and experienced with many types of personalities from A-list celebrities to sensitive foreign contributors. I have produced my own 52' documentary, which required me to learn Portuguese fluently and gain tricky access to Rio's military police force. I secured finance and saw this film all the way through to successful international broadcast and distribution. I love storytelling for the screen and my passion comes across in my work.
