About Me
Having always said I was raised by films as much as I was raised my parents, after training at The Drama Centre London, it wasn’t long before I found my passion for directing. In 2007, I began making my own short films, including 'The Lighter' starring the late great Sir Roger Moore and the multi-award winning 'Surgery'.
In 2020, I helped co-found Take The Shot Films Ltd, with my partners, George Clemens, Agam Jain & Fernando Ruiz. In 2021 we produced and I starred in Straight Film Festival 8 winner 'A Bad Day To Propose', pioneering virtual production technology and 8mm film. This year I have written and directed my feature film debut 'The Waterhouse' together with Take The Shot Films, Featuristic Films and Ramaz Studios, again using virtual production, and I am so excited to release it later this year.
I am also lucky enough to work in other mediums. In theatre, I have directed both critically acclaimed fringe productions as well as a number one UK tour. In the audio world, I regularly work with many acting legends for the prolific audio stalwart, Big Finish Productions in their 'Doctor Who' ranges and have begun producing their 'The Avengers' series. As for commercials, I have worked on big Christmas campaigns and smaller campaigns alike.
Lastly, I also have the privilege to teach, working as an acting tutor for Guildhall, The National Youth Film Academy, The London Film School, and am a regular tutor at The London Film Academy, The Giles Centre For Acting and The Rose Youth Theatre.
