I was lost in the silences

Till words found me

They grew me

raised me

shaped me

The words made me

MAKING FILMS

I've had 30+ years of experience across all forms of motion picture - from Television to Documentaries, Advertising Commercials to AVs, Shorts, Corporate, Digital and Feature Films.


I have worked mainly as a Director and Executive Producer, but have also fulfilled many other functions - Editing, Writing, Casting, Locations, General Dogsbody; and even Acting.


I consider myself primary a storyteller - one that's pretty media and role agnostic. For me, the tale leads, the form follows.

MAKING THEATRE

I did my first professional play as an actor when I was only 13 years old, and since then the theatre has been my lifeblood and my only real soulmate.

Again, I have worked in all possible ways - Sweeper of Stages, Actor, Director, Writer, Producer, Sound, Lighting, Teaching, Training, Workshopping, Devising, etc.
