About

I began my career on the flagship documentary arts series THE SOUTH BANK SHOW on ITV and then went on to direct documentaries for Channel 4, ITV1, BBC2 and Sky Arts. Over the years I've filmed a huge range of people, from Jude Law and Ruth Rendell to Peaches Geldof and Germaine Greer. Memorable moments include being stuck in a mud-slide in Chile with best-selling author Isabel Allende and filming Grayson Perry in his studio.

In 2017 I began to work exclusively on narrative film, having built up a body of short form work as a writer-director, including STRING, which screened at 14 international film festivals and won 4 audience awards, and JOIN MY BAND, which featured Jessie Buckley in her first film role. My work revels in depicting the darkly surreal aspects of everyday life through bold visual metaphors.

I am currently developing BLIND AMBITION, my debut feature film as writer-director, co-writing with the award-winning performer and writer Georgie Wyatt. The film's development is being supported by the BFI.

I am also co-founder of the production company Silver Salt Films, which I run with producer Helen Jones. I executive produced Silver Salt Films' first feature film CENSOR which premiered at Sundance and Berlin 2021 and subsequently went on general release in the US and the UK.  I also co-produced THE WORKS AND DAYS which won the Golden Bear for Best Film in the Encounters section at the 2020 Berlinale.

In 2020 I was selected for the Directors UK Inspire programme and was mentored by Sarah Gavron. I'm a BAFTA Connect member, as well as a member of Cinesisters, WFTV and Raising Films. I'm also a script consultant and have taught at the MetFilm School, The London Screen Academy, The London Film Academy and London College of Communication.
