About me
Focused, driven, and cine-literate Director who makes films about lost souls looking for a place to call home. I am a self-taught filmmaker, who came to the profession whilst working in education. I was given the opportunity to teach filmmaking after a consolidation of departments. Whilst learning the skills in order to teach them I was bitten by the filmmaking bug and haven’t looked back since.After starting the company Apple Park Films, I began the development of my first feature film Little Pieces, which was completed in early 2015. Little Pieces garnered critical acclaim, including being nominated for best drama at the UK National Film Awards, and is currently available in the UK and US on Amazon Prime. My short Emotional Motor Unit hit the festival circuit in 2016 and garnered exceptionally positive reviews online, winning best actor, best actress, and best director at the IndieWise Virtual Film Festival, as well as best science fiction film at the Golden Gate International Film Festival. Emotional Motor Unit is also available on Amazon Prime. Most recently, I wrote and directed a segment for the horror anthology I Am An Addict, produced by Pastel Wasteland X. The film premiered in November 2019 and is available to buy on Blu-ray and DVD via Darkside Releasing. My second feature film The Mire premiered in February 2023 and is currently awaiting news of its festival run. My most recent project Frankie Gets Bit is a short comedy, currently in post-production.
Being a self-taught filmmaker has given me an outside-the-box perspective on filmmaking. I have worked very slowly up until now, but have taken the opportunity to learn from every film I have been attached to make. It has made me a very collaborative filmmaker who works closely with creative teams to craft a vision. I work closely with actors to draw strong and focused performances from them on screen, my approach being described as similar to that of a theatre director.
As a filmmaker, I am very proud of my Portsmouth heritage. I look to originate and develop projects that are set in or feature Portsmouth, as I believe it’s a place where films can and should be made. Whenever possible I work with the university to provide their students with work experience.
