About me

Since graduating from the London Film Academy in 2014, I have been working in all kinds of short, corporate and feature film productions. For the better part of this time I have focused on honing my skills in the Sound department, as that is where I see myself going. In 2016 I have received training on many sets with much more advanced sound professionals who have both hired me again and recommended me on to further work as a First or Second Sound Assistant, but also as the main Sound Mixer. I love being on set and recording good sound, I work very hard toward this purpose, and if you want good sound too, I think we should work together.
Referees:
Mark Andrews, Sound recordist
Simon Paul Hornett, Sound Recordist for Charismata and so much more
Elisabeth Gregory, 1st AD on film set of Making It
Additional information:
I actually joined the industry as a photographer and environmental scientist with the goal of directing. Then I discovered sound. As part of my desire to be on set as much as possible, I believe that my skills as a runner and AD and multitude of dangerous hobbies could come in useful in certain challenging and specialised situations;

I hold an advanced scuba diver license, wen on a World Challenge Leadership experience, with 8 other youths in 2006, have 10 years of experience as a horse rider, 1 year of kung fu and 4 years of reenactment fighting (sword, spear, axe and longbow)

I have also received the best Short Short and other awards for the short film I directed in 2014 "The New Sexy", which is still going to festivals.
