About me
I have Directed TV for BBC TWO including celebrity interviews, comedy sketches, music performances, games, reviews, festival coverage, red carpet premieres, special events and video content for Radio 1.I have lots of experience in all other areas of production is including writing, producing, cinematography, lighting, sound (recording, mixing and mastering) editing, compositing, motion graphics and broadcast delivery. I hope to direct great Television programmes in the future particularly comedy and eventually make the transition to one day direct a critically successful feature film.
