I like to make funny, dark and often surreal films. In 2019 I completed short Future Perfect which was commissioned by Channel 4’s Random Acts and narrated by Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh, Flowers) It premiered in competition at Encounters Film Festival and was selected as Short of the Week following its festival run which included screenings at British Shorts Berlin, Aestethica Short Film Festival and Reykjavik Film Festival. I was also one third of Hot Gulp writing, directing and performing short form comedy for TV and online including writing a TV pilot for Bonefide Films and Channel 4 titled Storydweller starring Steve Oram (End of the F***ing World) which went on to win best sitcom pitch at LOCO. Previously I’ve also taken part in a comedy feature development programme with Screen Yorkshire and in funded development with Northern Film & Media on comedy sitcom Sea Bastards. In 2020 I was commissioned to direct a short comedy for Channel 4 online (1.7m views). In 2022 I was commissioned by BFI NETWORK and Film Hub North to make surreal thriller Dead Whistle Stop. Produced by Paisley Films and narrated by Kate Dickie, Dead Whistle Stop won the RTS NE Award for Best Short Form and has screened in competition at the BAFTA Qualifying festivals Aesthetica, POFF, Bolton and LA Shorts. Most recently I was selected for the Screen Yorkshire Talent Lab: Flex where I am part of a newly formed team developing a mystery/drama TV series. In 2023 I was selected for BAFTA’s Connect Programme. When not making my own work I work as a freelance filmmaker supporting young people and communities to develop their filmmaking skills. I work with a variety of organisations including New Writing North and Beacon Films.
