OFFICIAL SELECTION - British Independent Film Festival - 2024 White.png

I'm a multi-award winning screenwriter and director, passionate about film and filmmaking, based in the South East of England. My work has been selected for film festivals around the world and reached the Top 9% on the BBC Writer's Room Scheme.

I graduated from the University of Creative Arts Farnham in 2022. In my time at University I worked on films as a writer, director, cinematographer, and editor.

I was also a Location Marshal for the critically acclaimed, Emmy Winning HBO Series 'House of the Dragon'.

Across 9 Features, 1 TV mini-series, and countless shorts I have explored romance, horror, comedy, science-fiction, drama. animation, and Shakespearean tragedy. With every script I try to explore something new and take my writing further.

In my writing I like to put my focus and passion into unique, interesting characters and seeing where those characters take me narratively in a way which reflects real life rather than the tropes of cinema. I mostly enjoy writing romantic, coming-of-age stories with humour, but often these have some kind of twist on the genre.

My favourite films, and the films that influence me the most, are coming-of-age stories, such as Submarine (2010), Amelie (2001) Cinema Paradiso (1988) & Rushmore (1998), as well French New Wave films of the 1960s and the work of Jacques Demy.
