Life-long filmmaker and creative - I started making videos around the age of seven; throughout my whole life, I wanted to be a visual story-teller.
From 2012 to 2018, I worked as an all-rounder creative producer, accommodating young clients who wanted to raise awareness for a social issue, such as crime, bullying, LGBT issues, mental health issues and so on. I made two video projects a month, ranging from short films, campaign videos, documentaries, music videos and ITV broadcast pieces. In total over the years, I worked on around 250 to 300 video projects.
With such a broad role, it was hard to be considered by other production companies to take me on board, as my role wasn't specific to any particular job - as I covered all bases. So I decided to strike out on my own and go freelance in May 2018.
Since then, I have both worked on primetime TV shows as a PD and AP, as well as developed short-form documentaries, music videos and small budget commercials.
I'm incredibly passionate about what I do, I'll always be the hardest-working person in the room and I love the collaborative process between crew, cast and contributors.
I know the ins and outs of any other camera that's given to me; Fs7s, C300s, PMWs, ARRIs etc.
Plus, I edit as often as I shoot - I'm confident with Premier and FCPx.
I have plenty of crazy stories to share on how I turned impossible situations around to suit the production and the project, as well as making every moment and penny count , along with every situation I found myself in. Read Less
