About Me

Finished 4 years at university in Wrexham a year ago, emerging with a First Class BA Honours Degrees in Moving Image and an HND in Film & TV Design. Last February I was amazed/pleased/shocked to win Best Music Media at Ffresh, the student film festival of Wales (see 'Seconds Of Arc' in the music section on the left). God knows where it's all going to lead...I'm currently doing camerawork at concerts for retail DVD for Dash Productions (incl. Gary Numan, Level 42, Heaven 17, Rick Astley, Opeth and Dresden Dolls amongst others), and involved in several semi-pro film productions, including Daniel J. Fox's 'Dreamscape' (2nd camera and acting) and MJ McMahon's 'Hawk' (script supervisor). I'm also working with 11:22 Entertainment on a short film for UNESCO Wales to promote heritage sites within Wales (camera operator and research), and also camerawork for several other firms. Who knows, I might even finish my graduation film this year! (look in 'videos' for a preview of scene 9, or search for 'A Reason For Falling' on youtube for clips)
