​​​​ABOUT ME​

 

I'm a filmmaker based in London with ten years' experience who specialises in creating powerful and engaging short-form content.

 

I produce a variety of types of film, including project promos, case study interviews, event films, larger scale campaign pieces, and everything in between.

 

I either work alone - writing, editing, filming, directing and producing myself - or with a small crew (usually about three to five people). 

​

I have a background in freelance journalism and online content creation, having previously worked for the BBC and Channel 4. I have an MA (Distinction) from Bournemouth University in Multimedia Journalism, and am accredited by Broadcast Journalism Training Council.

WHAT I MAKE​

 

I make films that are concise and emotionally impactful. They combine stunning visuals with a compelling message. They stick in the mind of the viewer afterwards, and always have a clear sense of tone and narrative. They are also full of the kinds of little human moments - a laugh, an opinion authentically expressed - that can take a piece from good to great.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

 

​​​

Empathy and curiosity are two of the most important skills when it comes to helping my clients to realise their vision. When I speak to them about what they'd like to make, I listen closely and I ask lots of questions so can I develop a clear understanding of what they want to say, how they might like to say it, and what they want the viewer to take away from the experience. I also find it's useful to talk about the kind of film they don't want to make - this can be very useful in defining tone and identity.

​

I believe clear communication is a crucial part of working successfully together. I explain to my clients how I'll carry the work out, promptly communicate any challenges I think we might need to deal with, and make sure they're always up to date on how things are proceeding. I am positive and collaborative, but I am also honest, and I will be forthcoming about any aspects of the project that I think require clarification or revision.

​

If I do my job right, when you see the first cut, it will be very close to what you're expecting to see, because it is the film that we've been discussing throughout the process.

THE PROCESS:​

​

1. You come to me with an idea. This might be fully formed, partially formed, or it may just be that you want to communicate a certain message or reach a certain audience.

2. We talk things through. We discuss different creative angles, and take into account the logistical implications of these.

3. I come up with a quote that outlines, based on what we've discussed so far, the likely overall cost of the project. This is broken down into different sections, including pre-production (i.e. writing, meetings, planning), filming time, editing time and any related expenses.

4. If you're happy with the quote, I go away and create a script or storyboard. We may also agree a schedule for the delivery of the project, including deadlines for the script, when shoot days will take place, and a schedule for the edit process.

5. You review the script, and we develop a version that you are happy with.

6. We figure out any final logistics, and prepare for the shoot. 

7. We shoot.

8. I carry out an edit. Typically, my edits include two or three revisions, so you can give feedback, and we can develop the film so that it matches your preferences. 

9. I send you the film, along with any raw footage as required. 

​

This process can be more or less involved developing on the scale of the project, but these are usually some of the key steps.
