Highlights
-
My love of films and Cinema has been passed down from my father when i was around 5 years old. He had a collection that filled an entire spare room in our house, which later became my room. However as we both found out about ourselves, we get very attached to inanimate objects. So in my final years of Secondary came around, I was sleeping in the spare room on a blow up mattress, with Doctor Who videos and the complete collection of the Exorcist franchise sprawled all around me. Its a memory I hold onto as it reminds me of the commitment I have to my Dad and films in general.

I have been involved in the Arts for most of my life, as my parents were both Amateur Actors in our home town of Cheltenham. From a young age, I was a Dancer starting with Jazz and moving onto Street Dance as i grew older. I competed in many competitions and showcases in places such as Sadler's Wells and Wolverhampton.

I started acting in local productions in Cheltenham for the local Acting Society, and then my Secondary School in Tewkesbury. My most notable perfromance was playing Oliver in the Musical Production of Oliver Twist. Performing as Oliver helped me grow as an actor as it increased my confidence and help me focus on singing as an attribute to forging a career in the industry.

I have since finished my Screenwriting and Acting for Film Bachelors Degree and have started my Master's Degree in Screenwriting at the Birkbeck institute in London. My three year course has made me come to appreciate all aspects of film-making. I have grown a love of voice acting, after years of doing my own voices, I feel I have come into my own with it, and improved upon myself in ways I never thought I could. Because of my commitment to my education my resume is slightly lacking, but I am working on a few student projects for other people, as well as writing my own short film for my dissertation next year.
I have also grown a love for storytelling, and started Screenwriting as well, it's fascinating to be able to take an idea and expand and adapt it, so that I can show other people in hopes that they can enjoy it too. I also would love the opportunity to adapt someone else's dream and help them achieve the same, if not a better, level of success than I could.
