What I've been up to, what I've been watching and what I'm doing next...

Black Lives Matter

3/6/2020

It was very heartening to see thousands of people coming out in support of Black Lives Matter in London today. I shot a little short film which. if nothing else, shows how peaceful and respectful the protest was from when I was standing.

Lockdown London

14/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Strange days. Global pandemic lockdown means that most of us aren't shooting, which is financially tough, but also provides opportunities to work on personal projects and submit to little competitions that usually I wouldn't have time for. Here's a film for Jack Daniels that a few friends helped create a a clip for... see if you can spot it.
We were one of the prize winners which we shared between us and donated £1000 to Refuge, a charity supporting people experiencing domestic violence, which sadly has spiked in the past couple of months. 

I feel really lucky to have had it pretty easy (so far) during this crisis. I hope everyone reading this is happy and healthy and your loved ones are safe and well. Be creative, try something new, read a book, tune in to a tutorial, do an online workout, watch a challenging film, volunteer, or support a cause, whatever makes you feel good, do it. This too shall pass.

Directing a TV Commercial with BBDO

17/12/2019

So happy to be on this awesome shoot with BBDO. Such a brilliant, talented team. Great atmosphere on the shoot. Trying to find a leafy London location that passes for summer in December is a big ask. We discovered that Gunnersbury Park has a wealth of evergreens and we really lucked out on the weather... it looks positively balmy. We even got a Christmas dinner on the last day courtesy of Island Studios, which I am assured has the best catering in London. What more could you want?

Peckham Platform at The Tate Modern

30/11/2019

0 Comments

 
Peckham Platform is a creative and educational charity based in Peckham, South London. I shot a couple of nice little videos and some stills of a trip they took some young people on to The Tate Modern, which was a whole lot of fun.

Peckham Platform bring local communities together with leading artists to co-produce meaningful art, and the work that they facilitate responds directly to the needs and concerns of the people involved. They focus on empowering and giving a platform to groups that are at risk of marginalization, and do this work in one of the most deprived areas of the country.

"Our vision is that art changes everyone, and our mission is to create positive change through meaningful art."

The Medicine Galleries are Open

19/11/2019

About a year and a half ago, The Science Museum commissioned me to shoot, direct and edit 21 short documentaries to be displayed in a forthcoming exhibition on the history and practice of medicine they were putting together with the Wellcome collection.

​I ran all over the country with a very heavy camera shooting little documentaries and explainers, and learned a whole lot about science, as well as hearing some very moving stories.

Now the films are up and the gallery is amazing. I'm not going to lie, I definitely underestimated how good it would be. Incredibly well curated, science and artefacts alongside artworks and personal stories (which many of the films I made are about). Massive thanks to everyone who featured in the films, your faces and my filming and editing mistakes are going to be in that gallery for 25 years!! We'll probably all be underwater by the time they take it down! Yay!

I made this short documentary about Stoll, a homeless charity that works with homeless veterans to help rehouse them and offer support for vulnerable people. They were very nice, as you'd probably expect.

Charity Film for Camden Community Law Centre

14/10/2018

0 Comments

 
I self-shot this little documentary for Camden Community Law Centre earlier in the month, and the producer cut this film. CCLC is an amazing organisation that offers pro-bono legal advice for people who wouldn't otherwise be able to get help with things like immigration, housing and disability benefits claims. Big thank you to Alan Walsh for bringing me onboard this project.
