I’m a filmmaker originally from the UK with a Master’s Degree in Filmmaking (Directing) from the NFS, an Honours Degree in Drama (Directing) and am a member of Directors UK and the Director’s Guild of Cyprus. I have a background in theatre as performer and director as well as over a decade in the music industry touring the world and recording albums in the UK, USA and EU as well as being founding director of the world’s first fan-funded record label, Alamo Music Ltd. I worked with Fabian Wagner (ASC, BSC) over several years and our work was shown on MTV, VH1 and The Box across several international territories and the BBC and ITV in the UK. As a drummer I received endorsements from Zildjian, Premier, and Vater along the way. After leaving music I went to The Northern Film School where I gained a Master’s in Filmmaking, again specialising in Directing. After graduating I shot a number of music video campaigns for various artists, attaining No 1 selling Jazz and Classical releases as well as working alongside indie and rock bands. I also directed the recording of multiple live shows in large scale venues, creating DVD and online releases for those artists. While workin
