Over the past thirty years, I have gained a wealth of experience in feature film, commercial, corporate and music video production.
Having studied photography, I then went on to train as a press photographer in London, covering news, sporting events and celebrity stories. I developed my skills in the photographic arena and my love and passion for photographic image steered my career towards film production. As a runner/office manager at Working Title Films UK, I worked in the production and development office. Then later on pursued my career as a camera technician on various major feature films including 'The Borrowers' and 'Lost in Space'.
My ambition and passion drove me to produce and direct films setting up my first production company ‘Fifth Wheel'. One of Fifth Wheel's projects was creating a short, promotional trailer for a feature film that was in development called Paraphernalia. This short film had a cinematic release at the premiere of 'Human Traffic' and starred the infamous ‘Mr Nice’ himself Howard Marks.
Soon after I went onto producing music videos for record companies including Virgin, EMI, Warner Bros and Universal Music. In which I produced music videos for many world wide artists from Barry White in Los Angeles to The Divine Comedy and UB40 in London.

In 2011, I set up a corporate production company 'Incredible Films' in which I directed, filmed, produced, and edited short corporate promotional films for small to medium size business, including clients such including Shaftesbury PLC, GLL Better leisure, Cosmopolitan Magazine (Online) and Bare Minerals Beauty (Online).
Recent Short Film Projects
Recently I wrote, directed, filmed, produced and edited a short film called Vita Mors (Life, Death). This is a dark and twisted tale of stolen identity and a woman's actions, that have unexpected consequences.
Other Film and TV Projects
Currently writing and developing three feature film projects and a TV project.
Other Interests
I was the creator and co-writer of a football song called ‘Hope and Glory’ by Epic Dream, for the 2014 Brazil World Cup. A recreation of ‘The Eve of the War’, from Jeff Wayne’s multi million selling album ‘The War of the Worlds'.
Backed by a 48-piece orchestra a professional choir and recorded at Abbey Road Studios. Featuring british actor/director Andy Serkis (Planet of the Apes, Lord of the Rings).
At the time 'Hope and Glory' was voted the best England football song by the national press and was narrowly piped at the post from becoming the official England’s World Cup Song by Gary Barlow and Take That.
