About Me

I am a filmmaker and web video producer based in the North East. I help people visualise stories and capture their passions, creativity and ideas. Clients include The BBC, Channel 4, Adobe &  The Discovery Channel.

I have over 20 years experience shooting, editing and producing beautiful films for broadcast, cinema and the web. I don’t work with cumbersome cameras or an imposing crew. I work with you.

I am based in Newcastle where I specialise in documenting arts projects across the North-East. I have worked with The Baltic, Hatton Gallery, The Sage, TWAM, Forma Arts, Durham Brass Festival, Maltings Visual Arts, Northern Print, GIFT, The Bowes Museum and Vane Gallery.
My academic work has included collaborations with Durham University, Newcastle University, Northumbria University, University of Sunderland, UCL and Cambridge University.
