___purpose first
you’ll find me sincerely interested, obligingly thoughtful, naturally empowering, forensically detailed and resourceful
______concept second
I'm a great believer in well-reasoned, simple marketing strategies - but always prioritise accuracy of message over generating a lot of noise
_________creative third
a brilliant film is a good story told well: we’ll utilise every available artform to tell different parts of a narrative, simultaneously
___no barriers to
___making it happen .
partnered with a veteran DOP and his £50k shooting kit:

associate member of PACT
roaring roster of regulars that are rounded and grounded, passionate and dedicated: many of which I trained myself - having visiting tutored at many colleges and universities, most recently the NFTS and LAMDA
___where’s the portfolio? .
your proposition is unique
rather than reviewing how I exceeded altogether different creative challenges, spend two minutes briefing me on your journey, and judge me on my initial instincts. in this burgeoning world of AI, appropriation and algorithms, a little introspection will not disappoint
the portfolio of listed companies and broadcast credits can wait
besides, most of you come by this neck of the woods via recommendation, anyway: my pricing is unbeatable, I am motivated solely to be useful - both in spirit and by the letter. there is no sales funnel, every statement of work is bespoke
