I document my life through my films, using filmmaking as a form of therapy to varying degrees of success. 

 

My first feature documentary is Tube Film (2025), co-directed by Kimia Ipakchi, which is currently screening around the UK and available to screen internationally. My short films are Edinburgh ‘25 (2026), Papercut (2022), and Checking In (2020). My next feature, Plane Film, will premiere this year.

 

I also produce nonfiction and ‘live cinema’ through my production company Talented Friends, co-founded by Kimia. We are currently touring Joe Bini’s immersive project Burden of Other People’s Dreams, which world premiered at CPH:DOX in March 2026.

 

Kimia and I founded and curate the documentary festival The Creative Nonfiction Film Weekend. Our current project is ‘Chronically Online: A Personal History of the UK internet, a touring programme of online video. The next edition of our main festival will take place in summer 2027.

 

At my day job, I’m a producer at Compost Creative, a studio that creates animation, motion graphics, and VFX primarily for documentaries.

 

I used to write about film (and still will very occasionally), primarily for Seventh Row, where I was Executive Editor between 2017 and 2023. I’ve also written for Cinema Year Zero, Little White Lies, Curzon Journal, The Film Stage, and Roger Ebert. I've co-edited several books about film, including studies on the work of Kelly Reichardt and Mike Leigh; and a collection on creative nonfiction.​​​
