My short film Asa funded by @britishfilminstitute Network South East is freely available to watch via Octarine Films' website.
It's easily one of my favourite directing experiences thanks to an amazing cast and crew and more so we got to make this film in Milton Keynes' Stony Stratford where I live and neighbouring Galley Hill.

One of my regular jobs is overseeing the filming of BSL translation videos with translator / monitor Alexandra Shaw and a range of deaf translators as well as editing and subtitling myself for @wellcomecollection ’s fascinating and thought provoking exhibitions exploring health, society and science through art and they’re free too so whenever you’re in Euston, London, pop over and take a look! #britishsignlanguage #bsl #bsltranslation #art #artgallery #artexhibition #accessibility #deafaccessibility #deafaccess #bslaccess
Well chuffed our first ever @sign_up_training media interpreting weekender in Nottingham went great thanks to a bunch of enthusiastic interpreters from all around the UK and our fantastic trainers giving an interesting range of presentations, a huge thanks to @uk_screenskills for their support.
We are keen on planning more weekenders and for the meantime, here's a few photos from the weekender and follow us via Instagram on @sign_up_training

Due to popular demand, we have a second date for an online two hour course on Media Interpreting I’m co-presenting with BSL Interpreters Katie Bazini and @theballiboy on Saturday 15th November from 9.00am until 11.00am.
Our “Intro to Media Interpreting” course has been updated to reflect the changes and meet recent demands in the media industry.
The course is suitable for BSL Interpreters and Deaf Translators wanting to try working in the media domain, or as a refresher for experienced interpreters and is a precursor to the 2-day in-depth in person media course we will be running in January 2026.
Here’s further details on the course and how to book a place.
