DUST (2024) | PRODUCER
During a one-night stand, the discovery of an urn leads two strangers on a darkly comedic journey, navigating grief, intimacy, and the importance of human connection.
I am a Bristol/Norwich based filmmaker, specialising in Producing and Production Management. I have experimented with a variety of roles across my time at University, equipping me with a diverse skill-set and an extensive understanding of production processes. My creative and narrative style revolves around smaller, intimate stories that focus on meaning, emotion, and human-connection. This aligns with my producing style, as I prioritise duty of care and wellbeing in order to maintain a strong team dynamic and good morale throughout each stage of production.
I have enjoyed working on both Factual and Scripted productions, having Produced two of the graduate films, a documentary (Bonnet, 2024) and a drama (Dust, 2024). This has developed my skills in two very different sides of Producing, and has given me the confidence to go forward in either facet of Filmmaking – Scripted or Unscripted.
