About me

I'm a highly professional and motivated multi-award winning writer/director with over 15 years' experience in the industry. I trained as a musician, artist and photographer (still practising) before using film as a medium in which to express myself. Under Peter Greenaway and Ken Russell's mentorship I went on to write and direct for BBC Wales and the UK Film Council, besides others. My preferred genre is comedy but I'm drawn to thrillers too. I ran my own production company for eight years primarily to hone my skills as a writer/director, so I have an excellent understanding of all the dynamics involved, not only in working with a cast and crew, but indeed bringing my own style and vision to a project from script to screen.
