I have several feature films in development. I have directed nine shorts, financed by funders such as LFVDA, UKFC, Film Four and Anglia TV. They’ve sold internationally winning numerous awards. I attended the Cinefondation screenwriting residency (Cannes festival) and the Guiding Lights scheme (mentor: David Yates) and the BFI scheme ‘Think, Shoot, Distribute’ with Andrew Haigh (‘45 Years’).
