Since graduating from the National Film and Television School, where I was a Toledo Scholar (a scholarship for promising BAME filmmakers), I have worn a variety of hats, creating a wide range of exciting, cinematic content across the industry.

I was shortlisted for the Netflix Screenwriter’s Fellowship 2021 and placed as a Semi-finalist in the Shore Film Scripts International competition the year I graduated. My narrative short films and scripts have won awards and been selected for global film festivals.

Mostly these days, I work as a Freelance Self-shooting Director, specialising in the end to end production of high end content for various artists, brands, and companies. I have had the pleasure of creating content for Amazon, Selfridges, Harrods, The UK Government, the NHS, Puffin, The Tate, The Labour Party and many more…

With experience in music videos, narrative, corporate, and commercials, I always strive to tell unique stories with beautiful images.

I’m always up for a new challenge or a chat, so if you want to get in touch with me, please email:
