Having always felt a need to tell stories, I began constructing narratives very early on. I took to creative endeavours and started writing around the age of ten, which coincided with receiving an old camera, very quickly leading to finding a passion in image making.
Starting my journey around the age of thirteen, I quickly poured my soul into pursing filmmaking, which has always felt like a calling to me. By the age of sixteen, I started editing professionally, and soon after, I was commissioned to edit a thirty-minute TV pilot for THATStudio. After that project, I explored working in corporate video and freelance camera operating, running a one-man-band production company, FullColorVideo. In 2017, I went on to study for a BA degree in Film, at the School of Film and Television (Falmouth University).
In the last ten years, I have had the pleasure of working on projects across the film and TV spectrum, from narrative film to documentary, promo and corporate, event film, and music video. I have gained experience in many roles, including directing, cinematography, editing, and most recently, music composition and audio post-production. I believe constant learning and development are key to achieving one’s style and potential. Therefore, I always seek new challenges and opportunities to grow as a filmmaker.
Currently, my time is filled working on non-narrative experimental projects, focusing on form and style. I’m interested in experimenting with different techniques, formats, and mediums to best portray emotion and ideas on screen. I am employing these experimental techniques in my work in the music and event sectors, creating music videos and event after-movies, primarily focusing on electronic music. In my spare time, I am pouring a lot of time into music production and developing a poetic documentary, which I am hoping to start shooting towards the end of 2024.
