About me

I am a film maker. I make narrative and documentary film, using animation, non-linear and experimental film techniques, as well as installation and artists' film. I often produce work with small groups of friends, or in a community setting, for artistic reasons: I want to celebrate and make visible the joy of the filmmaking process itself, and explore its value as a tool for individual and social change. My work has been shown in high-profile venues, basements, friends' living rooms, and in national and international festivals. It is made with equipment found in junk shops and attics, alongside DIY and high-end electronics, re-inventing techniques learned from books and shared between friends.

My work has been shown in high-profile venues, basements & friends' living rooms, and in national and international festivals. It is made with equipment found in junk shops and attics, using simple techniques learned from books and shared between friends. A detailed knowledge of industrial film 'craft' is visible in my work, and I believe that in a supportive environment, anyone can take on the most specific technical or creative roles.
