2aBOUT MeI am a young film maker living in the UK. I grew up in The Cotswolds and have been interested and intrigued by the fascinating world of film since 2009.From the age of 11 Ive been creating films in a small group of friends and one of these films has won an award.

I am a very self-motivated person and extremely creatively driven. I am fully aware of the technicalities of the industry but prefer to strike a more creative flare whilst forever maintaining essential technical skills. I am always open to new and better ways of doing things and I never let not knowing about something stop me - I just teach myself. During the last few years, I have been doing everything I can to learn as much as possible about film-making off my own back and collaborating with friends and clients to further my talents. At home I am always very busy making films, both for clients and my own films which I produce in my spare time. I like all the practicalities of production, because its hands on. I am also fascinated by the process and techniques involved in creating visual effects. I have a good range of camera equipment and professional editing software, so that I can be more versatile and increase my creative abilities. Im well qualified in both editing and VFX. I work at a relentless pace and do not allow myself to stop until I have perfected the product to the very best of my abilities. Im always entreated to collaborate and learn more in addition to my ambition to direct a feature film.

Sound design

My experience with sound design, could be concidered limited, however: as a solo filmmaker: Ive had to complete every job role by myslef: including sound design.

For each and every one of my flims (seen on youtube.com/tvfshd), Ive mixed and prodced the sound design.

I often edit my work in Premiere and dynamic link it into Audition, where the bulk of the sound work is done.

I have included there links below, which take you to extracts of a Radio show I produced as a graded module. They each demonstrate my abilities as a sound designer.
