'Another Heart'

PRODUCER

I Produced the music video 'Another Heart' by artist, Ilira. We combined two storylines to help portray the artists vision. Using a combination of acting and dancing to show the breakdown of a relationship, whilst pairing this with multiple tracking shots of Ilira singing and performing the lyrics to camera.

Damien Dwendle - Mike's Back

'John Dwendle'

ACTOR / DIRECTOR / WRITER

John Dwendle is a comedy pilot that I wrote, directed and starred in. The piece was inspired by lockdown and follows a young man revisiting past memories along with present life experiences, to tell an intriguing story of how he fell in love in his local supermarket, over a packet of frozen quiche.

Wide Eyed Still 2

'Port Side'

ACTOR / ASSISTANT DIRECTOR

This piece follows a young man trapped in a dark world led by his thoughts and inner demons. 

I worked with MACKFILM to develop the storyline and assisted with directing the artist, 'Wide Eyed' to help bring the story to life. The film was made in association with 'Calm', a company that specialise in helping support people suffering with poor mental health.

Wide Eyed. Still 1

'Wide Eyed'

WRITER

I worked alongside MackFilm to help create and write the story behind 'Mia'. 'Alex Davies', (musician) was inspired to write 'Mia' after the birth of his daughter. We felt that intertwining the beauty of nature and the innocence of a young girl playing, would help capture and elevate the heart-felt, sincerity of the song that Alex wrote.
