ABOUT ME
I am a Self-Shooting Director with a twelve-year career in British Television. I have worked with high profile talent on multi-award-winning programmes within both Factual and Drama formats. Telling defiant human stories, my aim is to raise awareness and action around subjects that often go ignored. I have a strong technical shooting style and pride myself in adopting an ethical approach to filmmaking. I have gained complex access to sensitive stories, including LGBTI communities in East Africa, London’s homeless, and the last surviving Mau Mau freedom fighters in Kenya.
