Therakorta
A proof-of-concept sci-fi climate story, directed and written by me. I made it to practice my skills, learn from its mistakes, develop it further, and pitch to the BFI short film fund.

Filmmaking 2026
In the last three years, I've gained experience in various areas of film. Aspiring to be a writer and director, it's vital for a director to understand all aspects of a production.
During my time at UWE, I have learned to create effective, well-prepared pitches and present them to over eighty people. but also many writing techniques and the chore of telling a powerful story, and how to direct actors effectively.
But over my time here, I have also specialised in other fields. Sound is especially one of these fields, where, in many of the films I'm on, I was able to create a truly immersive sonic reality for the characters' emotions, combining my technical knowledge of recording and design with my understanding of narrative.
I am also using my skills to pursue work in concept/storyboard art, which I hope will expand my skill set and further my opportunities.
What I Meant To Say
A drama about a deaf teen reconnecting with his birth mother. A wholesome film which shows the bridge between the deaf and hearing societies. I sound-recorded and designed this, creating a sonic world which allows an audience to understand deafness.
In Search of the Delicious Planet - Storyboard
A Jaffa Cake spec commercial about finding a delicious flavour in the universe: I created the storyboard for this production, helping the director develop a clear vision to communicate with his crew.
