About me

I grew up with a passion for cinema but after joining the film-making society at university and working on a number of projects in a wide range of film production roles, I decided that I wanted to pursue a career in the film industry. In the years since graduation I have continued to learn and train as a screenwriter, director, and filmmaker.

My films tend to be dark in their subject matter, but presented with offbeat humour to make challenging concepts more accessible. I particularly enjoy taking subject matter typically portrayed in a specific genre or format and introducing elements from other genres to create work that is entertaining and thought-provoking. I often use supernatural or science-fiction elements as metaphors for psychological, societal, or even political issues that capture my imagination and matter a great deal to me.

Additional information:
I worked on a number of student short films across the span of my four-year degree, holding the position of Creative Director of my university's filmmaking society for removed . Since graduating, I have directed numerous independent films, both short films and features. I was also the lead screenwriter for many of these projects and in some cases the lead editor, as well. I won the 1K Challenge run by the National Youth Film Academy in November 2018 that awarded funding to the winning screenplay towards props, equipment, and locations on the condition that the film could be delivered inside three months. The film, that I also directed, has been officially selected for numerous international film festivals in many different countries, nominated for and winning awards such as Best Original Concept, Best Horror, Best Indie, and Best Special Make-up, and was distributed in 2020 on Prime Video by Filmmaker DASH (formerly SMG).
