Directing

FILM | TELEVISION | COMMERCIALS

Story First

I direct projects with a focus on character, performance and visual storytelling. My work spans broadcast television, branded content, commercials and original narrative projects, always with an emphasis on finding the emotional core of a story.
From development and scripting through to production and post, I enjoy shaping projects from concept to completion and collaborating closely with contributors, crew and clients to bring ideas to life.
