I make fiction and documentary films.

Many of my films involve working with people who have never made a film before but have something important to say.

The films we make together give voice to powerful experiences that would otherwise go unheard.

My work has been screened on BBC 2, Channel 4, by the BFI, Wellcome Trust and at festivals including Encounters, Edinburgh and San Diego
