Description

I’m versatile and reliable, having had much varied experience of production management with a particular focus on features, which I also regularly schedule and budget. I studied filmmaking at London Met and production management at the National Film and Television School where I was a Sargent Disc Scholar. I have line produced and production managed numerous small features, including Homeless Ashes (Dir. Marc Zammit), an award-winning drama which had a market screening at Cannes and theatrical release with Everyman Cinemas. Under the Radar (Dir. Simon Frith), a biographical doc about actor Mike Edmonds (Time Bandits) features interviews with Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Colin Firth and was selected for Film London Breakthrough Screenings. Both films premiered at Raindance 2019. Also, in 2019 I was selected for the BFI Network x BAFTA Crew talent programme. In 2020 I production managed £2M sci-fi horror feature The Seed (Dir. Sam Walker) for Camelot Films / Hardman Pictures, backed by Ingenious Media and Lipsync Post, bonded by Film Finances and distributed by Shudder. I've also had much experience on high-end productions putting my production background to good use as a Covid Supervisor for The Walt Disney Studios, including on Pinocchio (Dir. Robert Zemeckis) starring Tom Hanks, and seconded to Lucasfilm for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Dir. James Mangold), starring Harrison Ford. Also in 2022, as part of the Connect initiative, I was made a member of BAFTA. Features, including feature docs, are my passion!
