Filmmaking 2025

I am a passionate filmmaker with a focus on documentary, narrative and music-based projects. My work tends to utilise bold visual imagery, often alongside surreal plots and narratives. I have experience working across all stages of production and enjoy working in collaborative, fast-paced environments. I am interested in working with analogue video formats and archive footage, with experience digitising and developing these film formats. I frequently incorporate these elements into my work, utilising the emotional weight they can bring to visual storytelling.
