Writing

and filming stuff

with an iPhone

in Scotland

France

and Romania

I am an independent writer-director with a working-class background, 10+ years of secondary teaching and 3+ years of hospitality experience, which means I am an effective communicator, organised, used to long shifts and to facing people from various paths of life. I am also a team player, adaptable, a problem-solver, creative and overall approachable and fun to work with.

During my HND TV (Nescol, Aberdeen) and BA Filmmaking (UWS, Ayr), I worked on various student projects, including my own, as a writer, director, composer, and editor. I also made a few music videos for local bands. My practice is centred on character-driven storytelling, with an interest in contemporary social themes and an element of absurd and deadpan humour.

My film Work in Progress won Best Experimental Film (smartphone) at the Abcdetc International Arts Festival (Bucharest) in July 2026. I am currently working on my feature screenplay Dear Dad as well as on a few projects with filmmaking friends.

I aim to write and direct short and feature films, both experimental and narrative and contribute to the Scottish filmmaking community. I write in English, French and Romanian.
