I
have a BA Hons Fine Art from Sheffield Hallam University. Throughout
my degree I specialised in film making and went on to work as
a freelance first assistant director and script consultant within
the independent short film sector.
I have undertaken professional training in:
Screenwriting, genre theory, script editing , location sound
recording and post production sound and arts practice with young
offenders.
I have produced and directed music documentaries and promos
for musicians and arts organisations/events and have a number
of short screenplays and two feature
length screenplays in development.
My work in community arts has involved :
Tuition in screenwriting for ‘Lights, Camera, Action’,
a group of mixed ability adults with special needs. This resulted
in a devised script which was filmed in 2000.
Screenwriting and production mentor on ‘Maid in Wales’
a youth project run by Powys Youth Service and Arts Connection.
The film has subsequently been screened at the arts cinema in
Shrewsbury and the ICA in London as part of the London Film
Festival in 2005
Joint project leader on ‘Have We Got Views For You’
a youth project funded by
The Chance lottery scheme and run by Powys Youth Service and
Arts Connection. This project was set up for young people at
risk and will result in a short film where the young people
have interviewed their peers and teachers on topics around school
life.
I am available to help set up and run projects in film making
for young people and community groups and am very keen on developing
collaborative projects with practitioners in other art forms,
especially music, dance and photography.
Within my own practice I will be continuing to write and seek
out funding opportunities to direct my own scripts alongside
continuing my freelance work in short film production.
