I'm a filmmaker with 25 years experience making documentary, factual entertainment and commercial video. I have a deep interest in folklore and understanding the connections between people, place and those seasonal customs which often define communities. My work is observational and experiential - giving audiences a window into these practices and a voice to those who participate.

"We're currently in production on a feature-length documentary on Northumberland. We're filming seasonal events across the entire calendar year, and the concept is ‘once around the sun via the true north of England’.
The documentary is observational in style, and the story told by the custodians of the region's most enduring customs. Via Northumberland's living folklore and intangible culture, this film explores the depth of relationship between people and place in this extraordinary corner of the world."
