Documentary Storyteller
Colourful stories paint the world with compassion and love.
This is me
I am a Manx documentary filmmaker based in the Isle of Man. I specialise in portrait documentaries, arts and caused-led projects. I am always looking for stories with heart and soul. I am proud to be part of a developing national voice, which speaks organically with authenticity to the community.
I enjoy to manifest commissioned projects realising the vision and passion of other creatives, non-profit organisations or anyone with an untold story burning in their heart.
I have worked with many organisations on both personal and commissioned projects including: BBC, British Film Institute/Doc Society, Doubleband Films, Great Guns, NI Screen, StreetMonkey and the Italian Consulate to the U.K.
We all play roles as we transverse time. Roles which come and go like waves at the whim of natures breath. They are all unique. Some a lifetime, others just a fleeting moment. But each gives rise to understanding that we mightn't have had before we lived them. The impressions they leave, the stories we have to share. Moments of suffering and joy, preserved in time in images and words we leave. I am proud of the stories that I have helped to share, and hope this long to continue.

'When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.' - Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
To capture hearts and souls is to change the world. The essence of storytelling. Something that has been with us for as long as we have been able to communicate. But to tell an honest story you must first know yourself.
I was recently asked if I always wanted to be a filmmaker. The honest answer is no, I didn't think it was something I would be able to do, but my path lead me here.
What I have always had is an overwhelming compassion for life and a deep sadness for all the suffering in the world. These converged into wanting to help make a change, even just a little one.
Each story that is told is like a pearl of compassion, looking for souls to reach. Filmmaking is just a tool to disseminate this hope. Stories shining like stars into darkness.
