Provenance

Born in Zambia, grew up in Worcestershire, moved to Sussex aged 11 and have lived in Hove by the seaside for 12 years. I trained at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art & Design, the NFTS and the BBC.

Professional Experience

I am an experienced but youthful director who is equally at home on a multi-million pound 35mm shoot or on a low budget video short. My reputation is for producing high quality, award winning work on schedule and getting every penny on screen. My feature film SUMMER RAIN has won three BEST FILM awards and my short films have won awards all over the world; ROADSIDE led Kenneth Branagh to hire me on FRANKENSTEIN assisting Robert De Niro. I have had several screenplays optioned and I studied Avid at the National Film School and the BBC. I've made films all my life and I also work as an editor of Avid, Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro.

Career Apex

Kenneth Branagh saw my short film ROADSIDE and invited me to work with him and Robert De Niro on Frankenstein! (And Summer Rain winning three Best Film awards at international film festivals)
