My recent streaming work includes ‘Dark Matter’ for Apple TV+ (Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Connelly) ‘Swagger’ for Apple TV+ (O’Shea Jackson) ‘Mike’ for Hulu (Trevante Rhodes) ‘Beats’ for Netflix (Anthony Anderson) and ‘BMF’ for Starz (Demetrius Flenory Jr.)

“I’m most grateful to have been able to unite with such unique talents as Blake Crouch (author and show runner ‘Dark Matter’) Reggie Rock Bythewood (creator and showrunner ‘Swagger’) Craig Gillespie (director and showrunner ‘Mike’) Chris Robinson (director ‘Beats’ and ‘ATL’) Lee Daniels (creator, showrunner ‘Star’) and Bryan H Carroll (writer /director/producer ‘Why We Ride’) as well as many music videos and commercials with Joseph Kahn and Paul Hunter"

I specialize in graphically visual, music driven, fashion-forward, dynamic and emotional story-telling with a focus on speed, accessibility, and remote team-viewing.

After finishing film school in the UK, I moved to LA to cut dozens of high-profile award-winning music videos for artists such as Eminem, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani, Will Smith, Katy Perry, Mariah Carey and Aerosmith etc.

I then went on to cut commercials for all the major brands including Adidas, Verizon, Ford, Michelob, Lexus, Nascar, Playstation, BMW, Budweiser and BMW, winning The AICE award for Adidas ‘MiCoach’

“I’ve done a lot of work with action, visual effects and music, but first and foremost I cut for emotion. Storytelling is key, I pay most attention to the emotional arc of the characters and the story”
