Biography

As Head of Development at Featuristic I source and read all scripts that come to us. I gauge whether it fits the companies ethos of creative excellence partnered with international reach. I then develop the scripts with the writers/directors until they are ready to finance and shoot. With over a decade long background in acting, I also have a good network of performers to place into roles. 

I also write and direct for both the company and as a freelancer - with one film as a Writer & Director currently in pre-production and several in development.

My debut feature HI-LO JOE was released on limited release in UK cinemas Nov 2017 before landing on Amazon UK.
