Statement

I’m versatile, reliable and very experienced in production management and assistant directing, with a particular focus on features, which I also regularly schedule and budget. I studied filmmaking at London Met and production management at the National Film and Television School. I’m extremely proficient in production and in the techniques of assistant directing and I love working to make sure a shoot runs smoothly to schedule and budget. I have production managed or firsted nearly a dozen features, including Homeless Ashes (Dir. Marc Zammit), an award-winning drama which had a market screening at Cannes and theatrical release with Everyman Cinemas. Under the Radar (Dir. Simon Frith), a biodoc about actor Mike Edmonds (Time Bandits) features interviews with Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and was selected for Film London Breakthrough Screenings. Both films premiered at Raindance 2019. In 2020 I production managed £2M sci-fi horror feature The Seed (Dir. Sam Walker) for Camelot Films, backed by Ingenious Media, bonded by Film Finances and distributed by Shudder. I’ve also had much experience on high-end shows putting my production background to good use as a Covid Supervisor for The Walt Disney Studios, including on Pinocchio (Dir. Robert Zemeckis) starring Tom Hanks, and seconded to Lucasfilm for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Dir. James Mangold), starring Harrison Ford. In 2022, as part of the Connect initiative, I become a member of BAFTA.
