BIO

As a director I am committed to telling intelligent, emotionally truthful, morally complex and provocative stories in visually striking ways on stage and screen. I’m currently developing two feature films and a long form tv drama.

My short films for Film4, The Guardian and other platforms have been screened at festivals and on broadcast television. They feature actors including Romola Garai, David Tennant, Ray Winstone, and Patrick Stewart, with scripts by writers including Patrick Marber and Mark O’Rowe and cinematography by G. Magni Ágústsson and Danny Cohen.

In theatre, I have directed new plays by David Hare and Kwame Kwei-Armah at the National Theatre. Many of my productions have transferred to the West End, including Oppenheimer, Elmina’s Kitchen, and the Olivier Award-winning Goodnight Mr Tom.

I have collaborated with a wide range of exceptional actors, including Andrew Scott, Jonathan Bailey, Noma Dumezweni, Riz Ahmed, Nicola Walker, Michael Sheen and many more.

I have also directed a feature length film for the BBC for which I was nominated for a BAFTA as Best New Director.
