I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1990. At the age of sixteen, my family uprooted and moved to London, United Kingdom where I completed my education. I originally aimed to study at university for a degree in physics but, upon discovering the film magazine Sight & Sound, decided instead to attend film school. I studed Film and Television Production at the Creative Arts school in the University of Hertfordshire, eventually completing a masters degree in 2015. For my thesis, I specialised in screenwriting, writing (as well as directing) a spec script for a short film entitled Conduit, as well as scripting another short spec entitled Mr. Midnight. I co-wrote and starred in a small cameo in the short film I Thank The State, a sci-fi set in a dystopian future. The film has garnered acclaim at numerous festivals and is now available to watch online. I then co-starred and co-wrote the short black comedy Corporate Corpse, which has just been completed. Recently, I co-wrote another sci-fi short, Sanctuary, which is currently in post production. I am also, as of the time of writing, scripting my first feature length screenplay. And that is what all this is about for me; writing a bigger and better film than the last! In the end, I want to be writing and making as many features films as I do short films. I want to continue to develop my own dark, morbid voice that likes to travel in the shadows, yet occasionally turning to the light (a good idea is a good idea). I want my work to provoke and challenge as much as it entertains and enthralls, to never talk down to the audience but treat them with the credit they deserve. If fiction is the lie we tell ourselves in order to get to the truth then I want my work to be as honest as possible, not just to myself but to the audience that discovers it.
