I work in fiction and documentary film. My first feature documentary Broken Song was nominated for an IFTA and won the Audience Award and Discovery Award at DIFF. Sunlight, my first feature length narrative film premiered at the Glasgow Film Festival in 2023 and won Best Film at the Austin International Film Festival and Best Debut Film at Braunschweig International Film Festival.

Currently I’m in development with Keeper Films on a new feature – an adaptation of a Karen Russell short story – ORANGE WORLD.

I’m in pre production with INTO THIN AIR, an experimental narrative feature about a middle aged actress who disappears because of her irrelevance.
