I'm a filmmaker, writer and director with a passion for telling upbeat stories about disability and care. I've made award-winning shorts that have screened at BAFTA, BFI and festivals worldwide as well as commercials, music videos and branded films with a focus on projects that have a social and environmental conscience.

In 2013 I worked in New Delhi, India, teaching children living in the cities slums how to make films. Where they told stories about child marriage, alcoholism and bullying and screened them to their parents and community. That’s the moment I realised that films can change the world.

I've directed LGBTQ+ series ‘Flatshare’, web series #Reality, award-winning short ‘Emigrant’ and my latest film ‘Ecstasy’ is a heartfelt adventure inspired by my father, Bob's, 20+ years of living with Parkinson's Disease. It's about a disabled father and son’s attempt to buy drugs so the Dad can dance with his wife... one last time.
