Biography

I graduated from the University Of Gloucestershire in 2010 with a 1st Class Honors degree and my graduation film ‘Small Hours’ won Best Undergraduate Production at the BUFVC Learning On Screen Awards and Best Student Film at the Crystal Palace International Film Festival. The film also secured me a place on the MA Directing Fiction course at the National Film & Television School, where I was awarded a prestigious David Lean scholarship to study. Upon graduating from the NFTS with more successful short films under my belt, I signed with talent and literary agency Curtis Brown and now have a number of projects in development. My most recent film, a short for Bridgeway Films, produced by BAFTA winning and OSCAR nominated producer Chris Hees, titled ‘Tommie,’ is currently being submitted to festivals worldwide.
