About me
I am a filmmaker and self shooting director from a photographic background. I have worked on a number of commercial projects for clients ranging from Eurostar to the Council of Europe managing budgets and producing work accross Europe from Paris to Belarus. In 2013 I started a production company called Sava Films to manage larger projects under and have completed films for third sector clharities such as Sense and the Queens Nursing Institute.However my real passion is in documentary storytelling - using the finances from my commissions I have worked on a number of short documentaries and long term socially motivated projects including All Along the Sava (www.allalongthesava.com) a transmedia documentary project following the Sava River ex-Yugoslavia, this ongoing project explores the cultural and environmental intricacies along the river while also engaging the local communities with workshops and screenings. Breaking Ground a documentary looking at the sociopolitical landscape in Nicaragua through the eyes of the proposed interoceanic canal to rival Panama.
My strengths are in being able to build strong relationships with my collaboraters, from my subjects to my employer and get high quality results from working in a small team or sometimes alone.
