20220224_141932130_iOS (1)_edited.jpg

MY ROLE

As an independent self-shooting videographer, I have had the privilege of collaborating with a wide range of clients, including Michelle Jamieson, Northern Stars, and Grimsby Town Football Club. With a strong foundation in videography, I am actively expanding my portfolio and honing my craft to establish a career as a director of photography.

My experience spans a variety of film and television productions, including working as a production assistant on notable projects such as Three Day Millionaire and All Town Aren't We?, both produced by Shush Films and directed by Jack Spring.

 

Additionally, I have contributed to several independent films, including 1881, Dead By Midnight, and The Killing Choice. Among these, Three Day Millionaire stands out as a significant success, achieving commercial acclaim on the independent circuit and streaming platforms—soaring to #1 in Netflix comedies within 24 hours of its February 2023 release.

Featured Credits Include:

  • Dead By Midnight – Directed by Fran Mineo

  • 1881 – Directed by Michael Parsons

  • Three Day Millionaire – Directed by Jack Spring

  • All Town Aren't We? – Directed by Jack Spring

  • BT National League Sports Highlights Coverage (Camera Operator)

  • Grimsby Town: Finding Our Winning Ways (Videographer/Producer/Director/Editor)

I bring extensive hands-on experience, having worked on productions such as Three Day Millionaire with Colm Meaney, OCD and Chips alongside Adele Marie, and Our Neighbour’s Ass featuring Dame Maureen Lipman, taking on roles as an assistant set runner and production assistant.

I am currently seeking development roles within the film and TV industry while working as an assistant at Shush Films.

 

As an independent freelancer, I dedicate my time to supporting and collaborating with local filmmakers, which has given me the opportunity to work with a diverse range of independent venues and organizations, including Mind Your Paws, Phillips 66, Docks Academy, BT Sport, Grimsby Town Football Club, Ambition Films, and CineShow.

My ultimate goal is to deepen my experience within the television industry and contribute to projects alongside highly skilled crews. When working on independent productions, my responsibilities often include assisting with setups, filming, and preparing contributors, all while prioritizing the needs of the team and the client.

I was honored to be selected as a delegate at the Edinburgh TV Festival in 2024 as part of The Network, which provided me with invaluable insights and connections within the TV industry.

 

Building on this momentum, I am now focused on applying for the 2026 ScreenSkills Trainee Finder while also developing documentary ideas that explore urgent contemporary issues, such as the cost-of-living crisis.
