I am a writer and director driven to tell stories that narrate the internal worlds of characters and follow society’s underdogs. Having lived in a multitude of countries and worked in a variety of industries, I have met many characters whose stories might otherwise not be told. With a background in literature, my writing is influenced by the likes of David Ireland, Sean Baker and Ruben Östlund. My 2019 short ‘Flying Lessons’ which explored what panic disorder feels like, won ‘Best Writing’ at Cornwall Film Festival, and played at a variety of UK festivals. I was awarded the David Yates scholarship to be able to study Directing Fiction at the National Film and Television School. At NFTS I have built a reputation for crafting sensitive and nuanced performances. I am interested in mixing life’s sometimes absurdity with its more tragic moments to create poignant, bittersweet films with moments of genuine humour.  As I graduate I am keen to continue to direct stories that explore internal conflict and marginalised characters for television as a director who can deliver top tier performances. I am currently in ideas development for long form projects. In November 2021 I directed 2nd Unit for upcoming BBC feature Floodlights for Nick Rowland.
