Research

I research ephemeral cinema. Screenings that are pop up, immersive and expanded.

Teaching

I’m a facilitator, more than a teacher. 

My goal is to help people find their own creative solutions and fast track skill development. 

I have delivered training for the BFI, the BBC, Apple and the Exeter Phoenix. I am happy working with people of all ages and abilities and have worked with masters students, primary school students, people with learning disabilities and broadcast professionals, amongst others.
