Watch "Brother Bereaved"

I am a director and writer, editor, actor, cinematographer, sound designer and producer. I have been a part of over 60 Individual artistic projects and been lucky enough to make 20 of my own short films. 

I’m Sheffield born and raised up north in Leeds and Bradford and hoping to take my experience of social and career life with my own sense of conversation and humanity. 

My strengths of acting performance helps my direction, and with history in camera and microphones I’m adept at multiples angles of film and performance.


Brother Bereaved marks one of the most important projects in my life as this is a deeply cut down edit of a 40 minute feature film. Combining a total work load of over 8 months and 25 Individual artists, what you see on screen is a deeply personal story all of us can relate to, especially the talented many on the project. 

I hope you enjoy this work that took years in the making.
