PRODUCTION
PHOTOGRAPHY
EDITING
I am a photography graduate with over 10 years broad experience within the UK film industry.
I formed Film Ficciones in 1998 primarily to produce my own short film work. Since then I have written and directed films for UK Film Council, Screen West Midlands and Arts Council of England amongst others.
Film Ficciones has also been commissioned to produce a wide variety of work for diverse organisations, from music videos to corporate and educational. Whatever the project background, I always try and bring the same enthusiasm and eye for detail/aesthetics to my work, using my highly varied experience across all aspects of film production to get the most from any given budget.
I am currently working on a number of music promos and when I find time, a feature film script.
