As a Director, I am interested in making films that present thought-provoking stories with beautiful visuals. I started directing video content when I was 14 and have since completed a BA (Hons) in Digital Film Production at Ravensbourne and an MA in Film Theory, Culture & Industry at the University of Westminster. These courses gave me an abundance of practical and theoretical knowledge to inform my creative decisions. So far, I have directed seven short films and am currently writing my first feature film.

As a Video Editor, I love the process of unravelling a story from a collection of shots to best put forward the Director's ideas. I am proficient in using the Adobe Suite and also have basic knowledge of Final Cut and Avid. My experience is with corporate videos, short films, trailers and social videos for clients including SBTV, The Actors Studio and Denmark Street Studios. I worked at Cycling Weekly Magazine as a full-time video editor from 2017 to 2019 but left to become a full-time freelancer.

As a Film Critic, I love breaking down what other filmmakers have done and figuring out what works, what doesn't and why. I am always looking for films that subvert my expectations and use the tools of filmmaking in a unique way to create something emotionally and visually compelling, especially if they make me re-evaluate my opinion of a subject. I make video essays, analyses and film reviews regularly for my Youtube channel - Tea Break Film Reviews (link in footer), as well as posting reviews on Twitter and Letterboxd.
