ABOUT​

​​

​I have been in the film industry for 10 years and I've had a diverse and distinguished career with a multitude of experience in Features, Documentaries, Dramas, Promos and Music videos and I am an award winner. While my successful film projects continue to grow, I am also involved in many aspects of film development funding and distribution. 

 

 

One of the highlights was a documentary I made in the USA titled “The Hollywood Graffiti Gown” this was a story of two Emmy nominated designers who spent  25 years making a signature dress with the participation of over 450 female celebrates and ladies of distinction to benefit Aids Awareness. This was an important historical project, however funds were not available so I subsequently financed the effort myself and later received “Best International Documentary” for the film.

 

 

I have worked on and directed many more projects, including a children’s animated series but more recently, I finished an eye opening documentary on the infamous British Criminal “Mad Frankie Fraser”. The documentary tells of shocking stories and revelations never before told by the aging gangster.
