Everything else has to earn its place.

A career inside
the frame.
Work across major feature films, international series and some of Europe's most ambitious period productions.
Action, with a reason
I know how movement
becomes
story.
I began with the UK's leading equestrian stunt teams. Thirty years later, that experience still shapes how I write, plan and direct: with precision, realism and respect for the story.

I've spent my career
learning how
stories
hold together.
I am a filmmaker, screenwriter and action designer working across Europe, Scandinavia and the UK.
I started my career with leading British equestrian stunt teams and went on to work across film, television and theatre — from intimate character moments to some of the industry's largest battle scenes.
Today I bring that experience to my own writing and filmmaking — and carry a story's pulse from the first word to the final frame.
