About

I have recently graduated from the University of South Wales with an MA in Film Directing, and have a diverse portfolio of work to my name which covers genres ranging from mockumentary to gothic horror to crime thriller and beyond. Other experience has included directing the 2nd unit of a 2022 documentary, a placement in the AD department for a major BBC drama and an audience co-ordinator position on the Antiques Roadshow. My immediate aim is to continue working as a runner and AD, using my experience to support my own projects and allow me to play my part in continuing the growth of the booming Welsh TV and film industry. With experience ranging from micro-budget student films to major HETV productions, I am looking to create and collaborate on projects of all shapes and sizes, particularly ones that tell uniquely Welsh stories. With the eyes of the world arguably taking more of an interest in Wales now than ever before, now is an exciting time to seize the opportunities available.

On the floor of a darkly-lit music venue, a boot tramples on a crumpled poster. The full details of the poster cannot be seen, but the name of the venue, "The Rusty Fugue" is visible in the top right corner, which sticks up A young woman dressed in all-black Victorian / Edwardian upper class clothing stops in her tracks whilst walking along the turret of a castle, sensing someone behind her. To her right, on the bend of the turret, stands a man dressed in an English Civil War cavalier's uniform. He stares directly at her, his face emotionless. A young man walks along a riverbank. Behind him in the frame, we see an old industrial landscape on the other side of the river, complete with a large old brick factory building and chimney. A bulldozer can be seen on the site, and there are signs of redevelopment taking place. It's a bright summer's day.
