ABOUT

Brit here! As a director and photographer, I am fascinated by how we connect, no matter our backgrounds. I think this stems from trying to find belonging as a queer kid and eventually finding my own way to it. As an adult, I became drawn to what makes people feel as though they belong to something. This question is at the core of my creative process. I have a relentless curiosity about how to connect with people through work that is engaging and innovative but also relatable and comforting. I didn’t always feel like I belonged and filmmaking helped me discover the ways I do. It’s my hope that my work does the same for you. My goal as a director is to have each moment feel as if you were watching yourself or a friend on the screen

Working my way up through the industry I’ve taken risks and gained skills on a non-traditional path. This has become intrinsic to my style as a filmmaker. It is not uncommon to find me with multiple cameras in my hand or swinging from my neck, ready to capture the moment. I’ve shot big-budget ad campaigns, friend’s band’s music videos, and doubled down on my own personal work as an artist. I believe this lends emotion and honesty to my directorial work. Being a skilled cinematographer and editor has also influenced my approach to pacing, framing, and visuals. I’ve partnered with White Claw, Nike, Abercrombie, Twitter, Captain Morgan, and Puma, amongst other brands. I am now the founder of Little Known, a thriving independent creative studio that offers top-tier editing and production.
