About me
--- KIT LISTED BELOW ---I'm a DP and gaffer, recently returned to the UK after 4 years working in Chinese Film and TV. As such, I'm eager to re-establish a film tribe over here, and make a network of future collaboraters.
I graduated with a Master's in Cinematography from Beijing Film Academy - the first overseas student to do so. I've been working in the industry for the last three years.
As 1st AC, I have worked on commercials for Volkswagen Touareg and Hilton Hotel Macau (DoP Wayne Liu 李悦刘), as well as pulling focus for contemporary Chinese musician Momo's "Breathe" (DoP Emile Kelly), and Hainan Province's Official Tourism Commercial (DoP Wang Chen 王琛) .
As DP, I draw on a diverse range of on-set experience, from the CCTV (China State Television) documentary 幸福在哪里 [Where is Happiness?], shot across 4 continents in 2019, to "Black Canvas" (2020) - a sci-fi feature from Berlin-based production house Spielfilm.
As gaffer, the psychological thriller 星の音 [Sound of the Stars] (2020) won Best Student Film at the Uruvatti Film Festival and London Independent Film Awards.
I'm an experienced hand with ARRI, RED, Blackmagic and Sony cinema cameras. I can pull focus, load film, and operate a Steadicam.
