About

I’m an interdisciplinary artist and award-winning filmmaker who grew up in the ex-coalmining community of Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire.

Coming from a working-class background my work is rooted in the landscape and lived experience of place and community. My first documentary, This Charming Man (BFI / Channel 4) was about my father, an ex-coalminer turned inventor of the horse jacuzzi who life challenges notions of working-class lives, hopes and dreams. 

My work spans artist film, site specific audio / visual installation, social documentary and narrative film. With work commissioned by the BFI, Channel 4, Film4, The Arts Council of England, Creative England, Screen Yorkshire and the National Coalmining Museum of England.

An allumni of I-Shorts and I-Features (Creative England, BFI and BBC Films), Guiding Lights mentoring scheme and Filmonomics (BFI / Screenskills) Programme. 

Across my work, I’ve explored how personal stories and lived experience particularly from post-industrial communities, can challenge assumptions and reshape dominant narratives.

I am currently in production on Backbone, a large-scale immersive experiences commissioned for the Arts Council of England with the ex-coalmining community I grew up in, due to premiere in Autumn 2026.

I’m working to commission on projects across film / TV / immersive digital experiences and comics. I’m a qualified massage therapist, working in collaboration with clients to reconnect and align mind-body-spirit.
