I'm a British Turk independant filmmaker born in 1977. My passion and drive has always centred around the art of movie-making and has been influenced and inspired by the greatest filmmakers from as young as seven years old.

The film era I am most inspired by is 1970's cinema which is reflected in my own style of directing. I have been movie-making since the age of fifteen with my 8mm camera and advanced to 16mm and now the natural progression to HD.

My specialism lies in Directing, Director of Photography and Editing. Produced and directed my first feature film “Shades of a Killer” in 1999 whilst studying at Northampton College. Pursueing both career and education I then attained my Film-Making diploma at the New York Film Academy, London in 2004. Since then I produced and directed feature film “The Bloodwolf Legacy” in 2004/5, which spawned a short film redux entitled “The Last Hit”.

My current feature project is “Rose” based on a true story, stemmed from the short social drama filmed last year. Following film screenings in Cannes and Manchester courtesy of Lead Actor in the short film and Bafta Award Winner Jack Marsden, and a charity screening in Northampton it sparked media attention and interest from top Producers in the industry. I am now developing the film with award winning writer Stephen Loveless to be filmed in Winter 2009.

My film ‘Less is More‘ was awarded a Top Ten Film in Zone Horror’s Short Film Competition ‘The Cut’ in 2008, selected as ZoneHorror CUT! film of the day on 14th Jan’09 and officially selected and screened at the UK Cypriot Film Festival 2009. I have also produced and directed horror short ‘Wolf Cry’ and experimental art film ‘Flicker’ that will be showcased at The End of The Pier International Film Festival in April 2009.

Current projects include: touring the nation with Bubblee TV filming and directing exclusive celeb interviews in the urban scene; in pre-production for ‘Labour Day’ (GoreZone Magazine’s horror feature to be co-directed/produced by myself and collaborator Jason Impey), and attached as Director of Photography to feature film ‘Revenge’ a Scot Films production to be directed by Bill Little.

As well as a career in independent film I enjoy my role as a Film-Making and Director Mentor in youth engagement projects. Instilling a sense of achievement and providing opportunities to youth that have limited access to this type of art.
