I am a TV and Film Director, and also work in an executive producer capacity across live and non live TV programming as well as editing films for broadcast/cinema.
My work has won several awards including a Grierson, best documenatry of the year twice at AIPS, and been longlisted for BAFTA and BIFA awards, as well as qualifying for academy consideration.
I specialise in making aesthetically beautiful films, and high quality storytelling.
My long-form work has been shown on major broadcasters and streaming services around the world, all receiving widespread acclaim from respected reviewers, journalists and publications.
My first feature film, Kaiser! The Greatest Footballer Never to Play Football was selected for Tribeca! Film Festival and was nominated for best UK Feature Film at Raindance. It was long-listed for 'Best Documentary' at BIFA 2018.
It was listed as one of the top ten football films of all time, by the Guardian's Peter Bradshaw.
Further feature length work includes Calcio (2019), Stop the Tour (2019), Liverpool : The 30 Year Wait (2020, BBC2) & Croatia Defining A Nation.
Mighty Penguins, a film close to my heart, won the Grierson in 2024 for best sports documentary.
Commercially, I have made films and campaigns for huge international brands including SEGA, Ferrari, Red Bull Racing, UBS, Land Rover, The Premier League, Bidstack, Watford FC and Kensington House.
I have spent many years working in live and non live TV environments including working at BBC Sport on Match of the Day (plus other football coverage), Formula One, Olympic sports and WImbledon. I have since gone on to work for OBS, TNT, ITV Sport, Sky, World Athletics and DAZN. I now work in an EP capacity, helping shape look and feel of coverage.
Graduating from the University of Kent with a first class masters in Theatre and Drama, where I was called up as one of the NSDF's young actors of the year 2004, I have been working in all forms of media since 2005.
