Exploring the quirky outside the box...

I work with artists, charities, musicians, production companies and directly with sponsors and patrons in multidisciplinary fields ranging from making films to photography, TV research and podcasts.

Somehow known for my quirky and intimate documentary styles, my work has been published and broadcast in newspapers as far afield as Novinky (Czech Republic), Le Figaro (FR), Daily Mail, VG (Norway), The Strad, The Jewish Chronicle, Songlines (selected), in albums (Holly Penfield, Raymond Records, Izakman), arts and music radio broadcasts (WDR) and broadcast on leading independent streaming and local TV channels such as Tubi (owned by 20th Century Fox), Revry, Allied Vaughn, Hulu, Fawesome TV, IndiePix, Stash TV, The Community Channel TV (selected), Telenorba (Italy), Channel Zero (Canada) in addition to being screened at festivals including the Underdog Film Festival in Germany, SuikerZoet Film Festival in Holland and available at the film library of the Palm Springs International Film Festival in the USA.

Girls for Sale, an experimental feature film about human trafficking released in 2016, was picked by Tubi (the streaming channel owned by 20th Century Fox) and has been performing since with over 10 million streams.

Since 2019, I have been freelancing for singer, songwriter Holly Penfield assisting in all aspects of promotion, bookings and general administration as well as filming and co-directing music videos, shows and documentary.

Currently the commissioned documentary Blues with a Smile is being released throughout the festival circuit worldwide.

A tiny fraction of my documentary, news and photography collection is represented by Bridgeman Images.

I am fluent in English with a good understanding of French. I matriculated with an MA in documentary at Royal Holloway, University of London run by BAFTA award winning director Victoria Mapplebeck and RTS award winning executive producer Helen Littleboy.
