Education / Training
Services offered
I am an innovative and self-motivated Film Educator and Facilitator with a proven track record in leading dynamic and inclusive programmes and lectures that engage young people and adults from a diverse range of backgrounds.
Alongside my education work, I am an emerging Writer/Director in Film and TV, working with some of the leading figures in British TV and Film such BBC Fim, Moonage Pictures and House Productions.
I am available to provide Film Lectures, facilitate practical film and media activities and offer training to staff for inclusive approaches. Navigating the industry from a low income background, I feel I have unique perspective on finding your pathway and can offer engaging and interactive sessions that can help de-mystify the being a writer/director.
