Film Production
I’ve been making films for over 20 years and using visual storytelling and a close attention to character and narrative to bring topics, stories, lives and humanitarian issues to new audiences. I’ve travelled to India, Kenya, Cambodia, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Morocco and Peru as a filmmaker as well as working in my native UK and currently Sweden.
Working for many years as a freelancer I developed skills across the whole production process, working in the research, scripting, planning, budgeting, shooting, post-production, delivery and distribution of the films I make.
