Hello, I'm a filmmaker drawn to coming-of-age stories across genres. I wrote, directed, produced and edited my first feature-length film Cat Skin (2017) on a micro-budget. The film played at film festivals around the world including PÖFF: The Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in collaboration with the British Council's youth programme Just Film. It received multiple award nominations and won the Jury Award for Best Narrative Feature Film at the Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival. The screenplay for my latest feature 'Late' is a Page Awards Finalist (2021) and placed in the top ten per cent for the Academy Nicholl Fellowship (2021). In short films, I co-directed and edited the commissioned documentary See Again (2019) with filmmaker Fred Burns (Basically, Johnny Moped - Netflix), which premiered at the Manchester Film Festival (2020). My scripted shorts have screened at film markets at Clermont-Ferrand International Film Festival and Palm Springs Film Festival. ​
