Honoured to have been featured by @cookeoptics for my work on @vithura_film (Link in Bio) This film was a dream to shoot and an adventure to make on location in Kerala. I can't thank @jdominic96 enough for bringing me on board and @sidonyms for bringing us such an incredible local crew. @nayidillise @ambernotyellow @sekhar_arun it was fantastic to meet, laugh, and work with you. The biggest thanks needs to go to the amazing local crew I was blessed with. You made me feel so welcome so far from home. Many thanks to @cookeoptics for the support. I can't wait to work with you more. Please enjoy this lovely photo dump :)

FULL TANK | 2025 Written and directed by @realjonwilliams . Produced by @sidonyms Had so much fun shooting this hilarious micro-budget short at the start of the year . Always a pleasure making creative solutions on a tight budget especially when it's fuelled by fun. It's been a year of commercials since but I'm looking forward to getting back into some narrative work over the next few months. As always a huge thanks to the cast and crew!

The Late Entertainment EP is out this Friday! June 6th! We’re really excited to share this with you. Last September four friends headed up to a cottage in the highlands with cars full of kit to record this EP in just 5 days. All the songs first came together in a single jam session in December 2022. I was burning out from my time in London and there was no catharsis like letting everything out playing with my closest friends. This is an EP about imperfection, life’s mess, and the peace in letting go; fuelled by frisbee with your friends We can’t wait for you to hear it.

Happy New Year Everyone! 2024 was a year of massive change for me. I want to thank everyone I’ve worked and created with. I’m coming into 2025 feeling like I’m finally at the start of a new chapter. I can’t thank enough the friends, family, and colleagues who’ve made this year such a turnaround. Some of you know who you are, some of you won’t realise how much you did. I’m extremely grateful. I want to also thank everyone who’s put their trust in me this year creatively and professionally. I’ve been extremely lucky to have worked on such an incredible range of projects this year. I stepped on my first big TV set, been able to finish and create new films with friends, I flew across the world to film, and had the chance to record an EP with my closest friends. It’s more than I could have asked for Looking forward to see what 2025 brings
