BAFTAs 2022

I was invited to this year’s EE BAFTAs 2022, along with my BAFTA Crew cohorts. As I pursue my debut feature film, it was much needed encouragement for the year ahead. Huge thank you to the BAFTAs.

BFI NETWORK x BAFTA Crew 2021

I am very excited to have been selected onto the BFI NETWORK X BAFTA Crew programme for the 3rd year in a row! This is a huge honour, and a great opportunity to attend events and network with my emerging peers in the industry. A massive thank you to BFI and BAFTA for the opportunity.

New 2020 updates

There has been many amazing updates in 2020. I have completed a short documentary called My Time With Joe, which screened at the BAFTA qualifying Encounters Film Festival 2020. I also produced a short film called The Vlogger, which was directed by Rishi Vaja. This is set to premiere at the BAFTA qualifying British Urban Film Festival 2020. Speaking of BAFTA, I was fortunate to be invited to the event this year, and attended the film Awards in February for some much needed inspiration!
