'One More Time' - Short Drama - Director/Writer
Stuck in a loop of loneliness and habit, Holly continuously invites her ex, Mike, over. Though her mind is telling her not to, she finds herself unable to escape.
Short film based on a flash fiction, I wrote a few years ago. Drawing inspiration from Picasso’s Blue Period, the film aims to express the inner conflict of someone looking for answers, in a world unwilling to give them without some hurt.
'The Thief and The Lover' - Short Drama - Producer/Director/Writer
When Poppy comes home and reveals she has been caught stealing, Laura is faced with a dilemma. Will she run away with her lover, or will she be forced to end their relationship?
A bitesize short exploring the struggles we have communicating in relationships and admitting to the wrongs we have committed. This film was crowd-funded on Kickstarter with a £500 budget. The shoot was a single day and skeleton crew.
'And No More Shall We Part' - Short Drama - Director
A tense marriage comes under the spotlight, when Charlie loses his job and June realises how lost he was in his own world.
A short drama exploring the end of a marriage, how people deal with loss of purpose and how we deal with the people we love changing forever. Mixing abstract and expressive imagery with scenes between two old lovers struggling to keep their marriage together. Made at the end of my second year at the University of Westminster.

'Carthage' - Short Horror - Director & Writer
A man awakes in some form of purgatory and the only way to escape is to face the nightmares and guilt that have plagued him for years. His attempts of rejecting his past thrust him deeper into his own hell, torturing him physically and mentally under the watchful eye of an unwanted presence. The man must fight his inner demons as well as the oozing evil that lies dormant in this prison, but will he give in to the darkness or will he become one with his guilt?
Made during my first year at Westminster, this project was shot separate to the course with a group of friends over the course of a week.
