I'm an experienced & energetic comedy/performance Director.
My debut feature as Writer-Director was distributed by Soda Pictures/Thunderbird, and purchased by Sky Movies.
I've directed over 30 music videos racking up in excess of 70 million YouTube hits, and shot commercials for brands including Xbox, EA Sports, BBC Sounds & Hotels.com.
I'm a performance director in love with interesting characters. I've worked with a broad spectrum; from kids to grannies & celebrated actors.
My passion is comedy - sunburst zany to deathly dark - and I've worked extensively with music, dialogue & fight/action sequences.
My films are stylised & cinematic, drawing on my commercial photography background.
‘THE SANDWICH’ is long-listed in the HUMOUR category of the ‘1.4 Awards of Brilliant Filmmaking’ (2024)
My work has featured in SHOTS, screened at BUG & Straight8.
