I am a versatile and passionate Shooting Director/Producer and Editor with a strong foundation in documentary storytelling, fiction shorts, and commissioned charity work. My approach is hands-on and holistic, developed through the multi-role remands of independent documentary filmmaking. I thrive on uncovering powerful narratives, from intimate community portraits to off-beat character studies, and possess the technical skills to see a project through from research to shoot to final edit (though it's always preferable to have strong collaborators to share the load). 

Core skills & experience

Shooting PD & Storytelling: A natural instinct for finding and framing compelling stories. Recent work includes a funded short documentary on the ESEA communities of Kingston and a character-driven film about a reclusive environmental artist.

Full-Cycle Project Execution: Experienced in managing all stages of production, from development and research to shooting, editing and delivery. Comfortable wearing multiple hats and solving problems creatively. 

Technical Proficiency: Experienced shooter with Sony A7 series, Panasonic Lumix, and Canon C100. Skilled assembly editor, most proficient in FCPX.

Research and Development: Exceptionally strong research skills, ensuring depth and integrity in every project. 

Collaborative & Adaptable: Having worked on commissioned pieces for charities like Papyrus, I am adept at working to a brief, meeting deadlines, and collaborating in a team structure. Eager to bring my energy and perspective to production company teams. 

My Approach: 
I am driven by a desire to create content that is powerful, playful, and memorable. I believe in substance over superficial gimmicks, and I am particularly drawn to stories that challenge conventions. I am actively seeking to collaborate with production companies, offering a blend of documentary grit, narrative sensibility, and dedicated craftsmanship.
