Crew Listing


Description

I am a screenwriter and actor based in Bristol. Informed by my experiences as a young carer, life in supported housing and recovery from addiction, my work explores resilience at the edge of hope through a lens of grit and dry humour. I’m drawn to characters who aren’t fixed, to rules that are broken, and to the messy beauty of survival.

My debut short film Glass Jaw was shortlisted at the 2025 Recovery Street Film Festival. I have worked with the Bristol Old Vic and Tobacco Factory Theatres and trained with Curtis Brown and Faber & Faber.

I’m currently developing my TV pilot White Knuckle as part of Channel 4’s New Writer’s Scheme 2025/26.

I’m looking for opportunities to gain experience across the industry – from production roles to creative collaboration. I’m keen to connect with producers, directors and fellow creatives to bring compelling stories to life.


Special Interests

My interests include acting, writing, editing, directing and basically anything to do with TV and Film. I love comedy, drama and action. I'm also keen to make more short films.
