THE HYBRID FILMMAKER
I'm a Director and Creative Producer working across branded film, documentary and broadcast. I develop ideas, lead productions and, when the project calls for it, pick up the camera or build out the edit.
I studied Film and Television at the University of Warwick before completing a Masters in Screen Media and Cultures at the University of Cambridge, where my work focused on editing, cinematic form, and how images shape meaning.
