A film for McLaren to celebrate their 1000th Grand Prix. I think vintage F1 might be my new favourite aesthetic after making this. Loved digging through the archives, finding the matches between back then and the present day. I guess the tech moves on but the idea stays the same - drive really fast and faster than the other fast cars. Made on a VERY quick turnaround, with a wonderful team!

January was meant to be my OOO time. Didn’t quite pan out that way, but a magical time nonetheless.

When you’re editing a lot there isn’t much opportunity for getting vibey BTS content… …and we all know there’s no point in making films if you don’t get a pic of you doing it. So here’s some pics of me working hard at my editing desk - see if you can tell which ones were taken after all-nighters.

Skin Deep is an Official Selection at @norwichfilmfestival Screening on 8th November. Have been obsessed with getting a film into Norwich ever since buying a ticket to the online version all the way back in Covid year, so very pleased to be a part of this one.

Unbelievably excited to announce this… Skin Deep is having its World Premiere at the Oscar Qualifying @hollyshorts film festival, at the TCL Chinese Theatre in LA. (Which is basically the Wembley of cinemas) Pretty mental. Will be over there for the festival so give me a shout if you are too.
