About Me: As a self employed freelancer I work mainly as a Producer/ Director or 1st AD. I am however flexible, friendly and happy to try any role in any project. I have developed a healthy and broad range of practical production skills which I find makes me a desirable crew member for small shoots in particular. My major strength is in communication, nothing is more valuable on set. I have discovered a natural ability to bring crews together, hold them together and create a relaxed but highly focussed team environment which yields productive and mutually beneficial results to all members. I have worked freelance on a large number of projects whilst co-running three interlinked companies concentrating on comedy, corporate video and film. I have extensive experience in TV, corporate, music promos, short and feature film, the commercial sector and emerging platforms. Along my journey I have worked with talent such as Ray Winstone, James Lance, Colin Murray and Rik Mayall and brands such as Toni & Guy, BMW, Costa Express and Nestle. In my spare time, I direct and co-write a successful comedy web series available at www.handisland.com which has been played at Edinburgh Fringe 2010 and has a strong international following. I have also directed several short films, one of which has won several awards at festivals and another has played on the BBC big screens project across the UK. I also video mix (VJ) for clubs and bands, using an interactive live webcam setup mixed with preset graphics and videos. My most recent project is a feature film starring Rik Mayall, which I have co-produced and 1st assistant directed. We are currently seeking distribution and entering major international festivals with the hope of a small theatrical release. I am developing my film career with a varied slate of upcoming projects. I am also seeking to further my knowledge and experience in broadcast, with an eventual goal of producing/ directing comedy-drama series.
