About

I am a passionate and versatile filmmaker and creative director with over 20 years of experience in the film industry able to deliver high-quality, effective video content for across all platforms. I have worked with some of the biggest corporate and commercial brands, such as Nike, Adidas, HSBC, and Coca-Cola, producing and directing engaging films that reach and resonate with their target audiences. As a former Creative Director at an award-winning video content agency, I led a team of talented filmmakers and post-production specialists, offering an exceptional, cost-effective, end-to-end service, completely in-house. I was responsible for developing and executing the creative strategy and vision for original content, as well as overseeing the shooting, editing, and delivery of projects. I also have extensive experience in broadcast TV, having worked on documentaries, factual entertainment, and live sport for major networks, such as BBC, ITV, and Sky. I am proficient in video editing, social video, and drone piloting, and I always strive to stay updated on the latest trends and technologies in the video production industry.
