Stories that need to be told. Truth as a craft.
A documentary is not about what happened it is about why it matters.
I lead every film from the first conversation to the final frame. Story, pacing, tone — every creative decision flows from one singular vision.
Research-driven storytelling. I write the treatment, script the structure, and craft the narrative arc that gives each documentary its backbone.
Budgets, logistics, crew, locations, clearances. I run tight productions that never compromise the creative — from prep to final delivery.
I operate the camera myself and always cut my own films. No gap between what I shoot and what I shape in post. One continuous act.
I do not make films about people. I make films with them.
Deep immersion in subject, community, and context before a camera is ever picked up.
Story structure, treatment writing, access building, and full production planning.
Shooting with intentionality — handheld, observational, intimate. Always truth first.
Self-edited, carefully paced. Sound and colour as storytelling tools, never afterthoughts.
Festival strategy, distribution, and community screenings — the film finds its audience.
Whether you have a story that needs telling, a co-production to pitch, or a commission in mind — I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'d love to talk.
