ABOUT ME

I am a Writer/ Director with a passion for creating LGBTQA+ and Neurodivergent stories. I strive to create the media I wish I had while growing up, with complex characters instead of tokenised queer/ neuro-divergent characters. I aim to develop my own recognisable visual style taking direct inspiration from the 70s/80s punk movement. I have begun to experiment and explore this style in my short film's 'Finger Guns '(2023) and 'Filthy & Wrecked'  (2024).

ACHIEVEMENTS

  • My recent project’s have won 5 awards at various International Film Festival, including: Best Picture, Best Drama, Judge’s choice and 2 honourable mention awards.

  • My Directorial debut "Finger Guns" was premiered internationally at a Berlin Film Festival (October 2024)

  • Achieved a First Class Honours from Norwich University of the Arts in 2023.

  • I was awarded £1,000 budget by Colton's Acre Trust to direct "Lavender Whispers". A script that won "Perfect Strangers" screen writing competition. 

  • Crowd funded an independent short film "Filthy & Wrecked"

  • Appeared on Radio Norfolk to discuss  a documentary I directed "The Hauntings of  Cromer"
