I’m a filmmaker and photographer. I like suspense and stories driven by visuals that create excitement and fear.
In 1999, I won a place on the Edinburgh Film Festival's Mirrorball music video workshop led by Roman Coppola. I worked as a camera operator and cinematographer on numerous short film crews, before making my own.
In the first TriggerStreet festival, I was a Top Ten finalist and had my film shown at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. My films have screened at many other festivals, including the Cannes Short Film Corner.
Some of my photography has featured on the BBC and been used as design content on websites.
In college, I studied both film and digital photography. Darkrooms and Photoshop.
I balance all of this with my day job, but my goal is to do it all on a bigger scale.
“Those who can work with the minimum can work with the most.”
