I work as a director, either joining an existing team or putting my own team together. I’m most drawn to narrative work: films and documentaries, as well as commercials and music videos with a story at their core. I enjoy writing stories and developing concepts just as much as directing them, and I’m open to taking on different roles depending on what the project calls for.

I didn’t come to directing through a traditional path. I spent years working on sets across different roles — from 1AC and gaffer to 1AD and producer — while making my own films on the side. Working my way through different departments gave me a deeper understanding of filmmaking. I know the process from the inside out, and I value the work of every person who makes a production happen.

Before filmmaking, I worked as a Boeing 737 pilot, ran a yachting magazine, hitchhiked across half the world, and became a certified alpinist. Along the way, I’ve lived through some very different chapters — including emigration.

These experiences give me plenty to draw from as an author — hopefully, something worth telling.
