JOHN CLEESETo launch John Cleese's first-ever talk show on GB News, I was responsible for directing and delivering key elements of the campaign's promotional material: a feature-length look at the making of the show, the main series promo, press photography, radio adverts and stills elements for the poster. Working closely with Cleese, I shot & edited many deliverables myself using a combination of hybrid cameras (Sony FX6, Sony A7SIII, Fujifilm X-H2S & X-T5). The campaign was widely covered in mainstream media with mention of my work in the Times and METRO.

I am a highly diligent, self-shooting and bilingual creative leader based in London, UK. With proven expertise across promotional campaigns, cinematography, offline and online editing, I have led high-profile creative projects for global brands such as Liberty Global, Paramount, and GB News, as well as short and feature films. My most recent feature work was a TV special entitled The Dinosaur Hour Extra, which aired on Christmas Eve as a promotional tool for Cleese's show The Dinosaur Hour.
