Request QuoteI am an award-winning documentary filmmaker based in London. Specialising in character-driven films that explore the human condition, I blend a unique narrative style with rich visual imagery. My feature-length and short documentaries have won acclaim at international festivals and screenings, including showcases at the United Nations. In parallel to my character-led narratives, I have also founded Documental Films, through which I bring global issues and academic research to a wide audience, contributing to public debates and political policy. Before stepping behind the camera, I owned and operated an art-house cinema in the Colorado where I shared my love for independent cinema with my mountain community. My films include: Scent of Strawberries, 10:4, Wooden Butterflies, Carrying the Light, and most recently, The King of Nerac (now in the festival circuit).
