AWARD WINNING LONDON BASED FILM + COMMERCIALS DIRECTOR AND PHOTOGRAPHER CREATING SMART, SOULFUL, VISUALLY DRIVEN STORIES
I create eclectic projects across commercial, brand, music, comedy, corporate and animation, partnering with brands, artists, production companies or agencies; with playful takes on technology, arts, culture, history, parody set pieces, seeking light in between the darkness and finding any excuse to reference Bruce Springsteen.
I wrote and directed short film "Pandemic Spy"(winner best comedy film at the Paris Short Film Festival, Alternative FF, Toronto, Berlin Flash FF and OTB Film Awards; finalist for the Performance and APEX film awards; and official selection at London Lift Off Festival, North London Comedy Shorts, Ealing Film Festival, Golden Nugget IFF), other works include "Elephant in the Womb" and "Picturebook Romance". My music videos for Cornershop, Maroon Town and Punkture Sluts have been screened at London Short Film Festival, Aesthetica FF and Detmold IFF.
