What I make
Narrative short films

Story-led shorts, from a single scene to a festival cut. Written, directed, and shot with a small crew.

Documentary

Patient, observational work that lets real people and places speak for themselves.

Cinematic work for brands

For brands who want a film, not content — built around a story instead of a shot list.
