ABOUT:

I’m an established documentary director working within mainstream prime time television and film. I shoot and direct on documentaries for Netflix and the BBC, amongst others.

Raised in Exeter, by a car mechanic and a part time book keeper, I was the first person in my family to gain a degree.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
