With over 15 years experience in the industry I am equally at home as a self shooter producer, director or editor.  I believe I have an unusual combination of skills, which enable me to understand what is needed to efficiently produce a well-crafted and engrossing story. I own a production van, lights and grip.

 

April 2018 present

I have directed, filmed and edited various films and online content in the past 12 months for organisations such as The International Judo Federation, Bristol University, The QAA, property management JLL, financial management business St James Place.
