Awarded Best Director for a Short Film at the Yellowstone International Film Festival for Maeve in the Dark, I'm a London-based film and music video director and a published author, currently working towards my debut feature.

Maeve in the Dark has previously won Best Sci-Fi of the APEX Film Awards, who called it "stylish and unique [...] a breath of fresh air made with a complete understanding of storytelling."

It also screened at the BAFTA Qualifying Underwire Festival 2022, BIFA Qualifying Beeston 2022 and the Short Film Corner of Cannes Film Festival, amongst others, while the script has previously been a finalist in the Shore Scripts and Film Pipeline competitions and included in the Talent Demo Lab at Camerimage 2020. This marked my return to the programme, following the selection in 2018 with my Distinction graded MA thesis script Maa which I wrote at Royal Holloway, University of London.

Toiling as a script supervisor and film school lecturer by day to cover the scandalous London rent, I continue to work on a slate of original projects and commissioned scripts, having already delivered two feature-length screenplays to independent producers.

My latest short film, Dry Peaches, is currently in the festival circuit. Two of my sci-fi novellas, Calibrate and Mumbai, have been published in Oscurità and Bright Neon Futures anthologies respectively.
