I made films and experimented with video as a child, which ultimately led to me graduating with a first-class honours degree in Film and TV Studies from Royal Holloway, being chosen as a 2016 Grierson Trust DocLab trainee, and winning the inaugural BBC Northern Docs Pitch at 2017 Sheffield Doc/Fest and was given the opportunity to make my documentary with Blakeway North which has now been nominated for ‘Best Documentary’ at the RTS North West Wards. Through making the film with Blakeway North I have been given first-hand experience across all areas of documentary production, including casting research, shooting actuality and master interviews on a Sony FS7, and working with voice-over artists and editing in post-production.
As part of the Grierson DocLab I was mentored by Executive Producers Ruth Kelly and Sophie Leonard. I have worked as a researcher at PopKorn TV and Spirited Pictures where I sourced stories and contacted potential contributors. I have also interned at True North, Minnow Films, The Garden, and Raw TV where I sat in on master interviews and voice-over recordings, organised shoots for both dramatic reconstructions and observational documentaries. Furthermore, my work in founding my own filmmaking society at university demonstrates my assertive mentality and has contributed enormously to the development of a successful skillset when in collaboration in a team and delivering independently. I have a clean UK driver’s licence with a love for travelling and snowboarding having worked as a Ski Rep in the French Alps, whilst shooting and editing my experiences, and spent a year from March 2015 to 2016 backpacking around Australia where I worked as a door to door salesman, barman, and fruit picker.
