Hi. Thanks for checking out my director's portfolio.
That's me with a toy video camera, aged 5.
On these pages you'll find some of the work I've made since then. It's divided into three short sections, with two mini showreels and a scene from my latest film.
Included are moments from projects featured on National Geographic, Atlas Obscura, NOWNESS, The Atlantic, Vimeo Staff Picks, and a longlistee for the BAFTA Short Film Award.
First up, a scene from The Ugandan Quidditch Movement.
Using the quirky sport of real-life quidditch as a hook, this short documentary follows the work of community leader John Ssentamu as he strives to create lasting, impactful change for the young people in his rural Ugandan village.
