Latest project! Great to be able to show off how valuable the work George's Rockstars do is. Take a look and support them if you can

Fantastic day filming for the George’s Rockstars music therapy charity. Amazing to see the value of what they do in action, and happy to see some amazing footage coming out of it!

I got a job! I’m so proud to have been hired as the 5th member of the film team at Superdry. It’s an opportunity to learn and improve fast with the stability of a salary and the support of a lovely team which is a luxury I’ve rarely had doing the kind of freelance work I’ve known up to now! It’s even better that Superdry tops the Financial Times’ 2021 climate leaders list, so I’m just really excited to get started. It’s been a very busy and tough year in some ways, but this is a payoff that I’m really happy with and proud of.

The photos are taken from the practical task I shot in a makeshift studio in our garage as part of the application process. Thanks so so much to Jess Holt for modelling at such short notice and putting up with a mess of directions, movements and poses until the small hours of the morning. Hire her!

…And so ends the summer update! What a saga it’s been, hit after hit of riveting content, twists, turns, and high drama throughout. Genuinely though thanks all for being so supportive x

Summer update 6/7: The Penultimatum!

I’m currently editing an advert for the lovely team at H.B. Osteopathy. They were brilliant to film with, and thanks to Highscope Drones we even have some very smooth arial shots! Keep an eye out for the finished video in the near future, and stay fixed to your screen for the grand finale of the now iconic summer update! What could it be?!

Summer update 5/7! I made a short video to help spread the word about my mum’s debut book published by HarperCollins, a story about her life and the journey that brought her to her work helping over 10,000 young people using Animal Assisted Intervention at Southampton Children’s Hospital. Many of you already know about what she does, but whether you know a lot or a little please feel free to pick up a copy! The reviews are stellar and everyone who picks it up is incredibly moved.

The summer update continues! Director Grace Morgan reached out to me to DoP her and Jasmine Otley‘s new short “on my level”. A great, challenging experience, and with resources that I’ve never had access to before which is awesome. Rare that I don’t edit the things I shoot, so I’m very excited to see how it all comes together! 3 more updates still to come, with the biggest at the end (good lord the anticipation). Hope you’re doing well x

Summer update 3/7! I edited a highlight reel for Footasylum’s ‘ChefAsylum’ YouTube series to screen in stores and locations nationwide. A really big client for me and a chance to do a little bit of motion graphics work as well, which always adds a lil spice. Exciting step up! Still more to come in the next few days

Summer update 2/7! Did a bit of acting with Kat McWilliam as an extra on Sam Anghelides and Liam Wallace’s new short ‘Iris’. Great fun, great people, and thanks to costume designer and extra Becky Johnson, I managed to get editing work for a major retailer! More about that later in this summer update, quickly proving itself the most captivating piece of content on this app

Big summer update! A lot of exciting things have happened recently, but I’ve been too busy to post about them so forgive me while I indulge myself with a few posts over a few days to update anyone who might want to know.

THING 1!
Really proud to have graduated from Bristol uni with a 1st in Film and French. There was some unbelievably fascinating material to learn along the way and the usual mixture of ups and downs, but I’m glad to be friends with some wonderful people as a result. Wholesome stuff
