‘A Bloke Called Dave’ is my latest passion project. It’s about a bloke called Dave, but it's also about me. Dave started fixing TVs because it’s what he loved doing. And he kept doing it even though everyone told him there was no future in it. I started shooting stuff because it's what I love doing, but it's not without threats that leave me wondering what my own future looks like. I sent Dave a text on Thursday, drove 8 hours to his house on Friday, and filmed with him on Saturday and Sunday. Being surrounded by Dave's collection of 120 CRT TVs was the perfect place to speak about social media and how content has changed over the years. And the edit was the perfect place for me to experiment with AI. The reason that I do what I do is because I love being injected into scenarios that I otherwise wouldn’t have found myself in. Learning about something, developing a feeling towards it and then capturing it in a way that allows me to project that feeling onto other people is always what has got me excited about filming. Social media has changed the way people have been able to portray themselves and online personalities were artificial long before AI came along. The truth is that without real people like Dave, content lacks all of the human connection and emotion that got me into filmmaking in the first place. It’s the coming together of real personalities and stories both on and off screen that get me excited about creating films and videos. Working with real people and capturing what makes them tick is what I do best - it'd be nice to do that with you too.

'Around the Block' is a passion project of mine that focuses on street artist David Zinn. I began work on it through my own sense of creative frustration, with the loose idea being 'I want to go and make a film about a street artist'. But when it came to editing it, it felt more apt for it to become an analogy for what it's like to be involved in the creative process that perhaps anyone in a creative industry can identify with. Much like David finds inspiration in the cracks, streaks and specks on the pavement, I personally find that getting out and finding shots with a camera in my hand is far more fluid and inspiring than sitting at home and trying to come up with ideas. The final piece is no longer a film specifically about street art, but a study of the process involved in making ideas come to life - told through a tour of David's world alongside the characters that live within it. If nothing else, hopefully it encourages someone else to go out and create something just... because.

Jura is an Island off the west coast of Scotland where deer outnumber humans by 40:1. This film is in fond memory of Peter Campbell who sadly passed away earlier this year. No one knew Jura and its deer better than him. And although very ill at the time he gave his incredible knowledge and wonderful voice to the film.

In an effort to see more and shoot more, I went on an unplanned trip to Barcelona with the intention of making a short documentary that captured the vibe of the city. I didn't know who I was going to end up meeting or what I was going to shoot. I ventured to MACBA (arguably the street skate capital of the world) where I ended up meeting Gianmarco through an old school friend living in the city. We quickly became friends and he showed me around Barcelona, introduced me to a few locals and told me about Valentina - a lost love of his that lives on through his skating.
