About me

Sound Department
I am a fantastic sound recordist and Foley artist. I love just turning up on set to record, however, it's great to get involved pre-shot list and discuss with a director how creative we could get with sound. I grew up in a household with my dad working from home as a hypnotherapist and I had to live in absolute silence a lot of the time. This raised me to be hyper-aware of every sound that's happening around me.

Writer
I actually mostly want to be a writer, and I chose to study sound to get on set, but also you can write sound into a screenplay, whereas it's frowned upon to write in camera movements. While I do write lots of comedy, my main focus is dystopian horror, despite winning best screenplay for a heartwarming drama.

Production
I have an incredible producer's showreel. My approach to producing is very unconventional and outside the box, therefore I work best in an assistant position. Hiring me in this role will open doors regular producers cannot.

Music videos
I am committed to doing all of Sofia Gillani's music videos. Get in touch for collaborations.

Referees:
Pro Motion Hire -
I loved everyone I worked with at the warehouse and it felt like a family. Pro Motion did wonders for my confidence which was quite broken before I joined them.

Patrick wrote me an incredible reference at university which meant the world to me as it was so in-depth.
