Professional Summary
Over the last 6 years since my education in film and creative media began, I have had the opportunities to work on some incredible sets, filmed in some beautiful countries and have worked with a huge variety of talented individuals. Not only have I learned so much from experience but I have adapted a fearless attitude towards film and I always strive to go the extra mile to find a story to focus on. My passion and enthusiasm led me into the depths of Manchester's music scene which since has enabled me to build secure networks there and opened doors to other projects away from the music scene.
I would love to embrace more opportunities where I can get a hands on experience within the film industry as I am a keen learner who consistently pushes myself to achieve more. I would like to make high quality productions and content that can reach a worldwide demographic. During 2016 I began setting up my own freelance business which was a platform for new talent and a documentation of culture. My main ambition is to create content with a purpose so to actively use my camera as a voice, I particularly work with the documentary genre as I am interested in representing reality.
​
Through years of practise I have also discovered my passion for editing. I love the way a film comes together and starts to solidify as a production, this has contributed to my interest in promotional work for brands, businesses, events and artists. With shorter films you can apply a more experimental approach which captivates people's short attention spans.
