About

I am a filmmaker and lecturer in filmmaking in the department of Film and Photography at Kingston School of Art where I primarily teach editing and sound across different film practice modules. I am a graduate of the MA Experimental Film at Kingston and former Technical Fellow and Guest Lecturer. 

I make film and video work that primarily focuses on the reuse of archive and found footage and the creative use of sound. My films have been presented and awarded at numerous international film festivals such as the Locarno Film Festival, RIDM Montreal, DocumentaMadrid, Tampere Film Festival, Flatpack, Mecal Barcelona, Documentarist Istanbul and more.

Prior to moving to the UK and starting my own filmmaking journey, I worked as editor and visual effects artist for broadcast television and major films in Los Angeles.
