Currently I\'m developing a Stock Footage Archive, a mental health channel & a reels company. I have three film projects in development involving the blind/visually impaired, a doc about a musician and a feature film about someone with dementia. I occasionally lend my vocal-cords for voice-overs. My film work has been screened globally at the New York International Independent Festival, the London Short Film Festival, and the Glastonbury Music Festival to name a few. My experimental film, Bloodbridge won Best Short Film at the Timecode: NOLA Independent Film Festival in New Orleans.I also freelance edit for global brands such as Comedy Central, MTV, Warner Music, Channel 4, Chelsea FC and have collaborated with leading artistic talent in the entertainment industry. This includes Charles Henri Belleville (Director - The Inheritance/Jet Trash/Screen International Star of Tomorrow), John Minton (BAFTA winning editor/Portishead, Noel Gallagher), & Robbie Bryant (Best Cinematographer - European Cinematography Awards/Academy Award Shortlist & BAFTA Nomination for Wale). I\'ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Charles for many years, a brother and mentor. A highlight was when we worked with Tom Hardy on an independent feature film, which we made with just five people and zero budget. Guerrilla filmmaking at it\'s most extreme. My last music video (shot by Robbie Bryant/Produced by Oli Lyndale) drew praise from Academy Award Winner John Mathieson (Gladiator) & Danny Cohen (The King’s Speech).My equipment includes a full shooting & editing kit - Sony FS5, Atomos Ninja V+, Professional audio equipment, Hybrid i9 Mac (with Adobe Creative Studio), Lifetime membership with Audiio (Music and SFX licenses), and a vast collection of Premiere plugins. As part of my research for the film on the blind, I\'m currently volunteering with the Middlesex Blind Association.\'When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.\'(Hunter S. Thompson)
