ABOUT ME

​

I’m a filmmaker who has been in love with film my entire left. Having not so much of a fantastic start in life health wise, I fell significantly behind in my education. This was due to me thinking that the fact I couldn’t really hear very well was normal and everyone around me not really noticing that I had a problem with my hearing. By the time I was in my teens my hearing was resolved, but I was told I was way too far behind to catch up. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch up fully when my GCSE’s came around, however I achieved relatively bad grades, not terribly bad grades.


I then went on to study ‘Media Production (Film and TV) at West Nottinghamshire College, achieving distinctions and above. This opened an opportunity to go to university, that I never believed possible for me, and for the next three years I studied film production at the university of central Lancashire, gaining a result of a first class (Hons) degree.

Studying how films are produced has given me an insight into all aspects of film, from the design process, production and post production.

​

Throughout the months since I graduated from university I have been working on more of an advertising basis, creating short adverts for small local companies.

Part of this role entailed building a primary school classroom from scratch.

I co-produced 'The Freezer's Story' with Becky Somers. however my main priority throughout this film was the art department.
