ABOUT ME
Born in the mountains of Ceredigion, Wales I am a freelance film director with over a decade of experience making TV commercials, web promos and brand films. I’ve won multiple awards and been proud to work on global campaigns for big international corporations as well as modest brands from all over Europe and beyond.
I am unashamedly enthusiastic and optimistic and am passionate about every part of the filmmaking process, especially working with actors. I am often commissioned to work with children, families and non actors and am proud that all those that work with me on my productions find the environment fun and safe.
I can work directly with brands to come up with ideas and stories from scratch or just as easily jump in later in the process to direct projects traditionally, working from a signed off agency’s creative. My shoots always come in on time and within budget.
The years I have spent within the advertising world have given me a strong sense for imaginative visuals and I have a reputation for creating striking imagery with energetic filming techniques that ensure all my storylines are dramatic, funny or moving in every way that they should be.
I am honoured to be a part of 'Bristol Crew', a handpicked selection of freelancers chosen to represent the cream of the industry in the South West. I am represented by Tom Gribby at Host Talent Group and am a member of Directors UK.
