On International Women's Day, I like to give some appreciation to the fantastic female directors I have worked with over the last year. I was honoured to be asked to work with Nia DaCosta (The Marvels) a second time on 'Hedda', her brilliant new interpretation of 'Hedda Gabler'. Also, another chance to work with the wonderful China Moo-Young ('The Rook', 'Intergalactic', 'Pennyworth'), this time on 'Road Trip'. Also working a second time with Amanda Brotchie, (first on 'Gentleman Jack'), this time on 'Renegade Nell', both written by Sally Wainwright. I had two projects with Nicole Charles- 'The Following Events Are Based On A Pack Of Lies' and 'Passenger'. And a first time working with Jaime Babbit on 'My Lady Jane', Tanya Hamilton on 'Get Millie Black', Meenu Gaur on 'Murder is Easy', Joasia Goldyn on 'A Town Called Malice', and last but by no means least, some very enjoyable time spent with Georgi Banks-Davies on the brilliant 'Kaos'.
27th February 2024
Renegade Nell, the new historical adventure series from the magnificent Sally Wainwright will be coming to Disney+ on 29th March. It was such a delight to work with Sally's brilliant writing. See the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdY6rkwZimE

Sanctuary: A Witch's Tale is now available to watch on AMC+. A story of a modern day witch using her powers for good, and trying to clear her daughter's name.

It's been a long wait for one of my favourite ever projects- Tuesday, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
I was privileged to storyboard the entire film, though all in rough thumbnails.
It was one of the most innovative and moving scripts I'd ever read, and working with Daina Oniunas-Pusić on this, her debut feature as writer-director was a wonderful experience.
Release date is still TBC- watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/qvqyBWCN39o?si=YTd-xPwdZ4zl5NxB
11th December 2023
I had a lot of fun working on 'The Heist Before Christmas' with the lovely Edward Hall directing. It's a beautiful, heart-warming festive tale with James Nesbitt and Timothy Spall as Santa. Available to watch on Christmas Eve at 8pm & 2 am on Sky Max/Showcase.
10th November 2023
The Marvels in cinemas today! It was really fun to get to be a tiny part of the Marvel universe, and a wonderful experience working with the massively talented Nia DaCosta directing.

Rooting for The Swimmers tonight, a truly Outstanding British Film #baftaawards
18th January 2023
Working on 'The Swimmers' was a wonderful experience- I learnt a lot about the plight of refugees fleeing conflict by boat, how terrifying and dangerous it is. This is the true story of Yusra Mardini and her sister, competitive swimmers fleeing the war in Syria. It was directed by the brilliant Sally El Hosaini and co-written by Jack Thorne. It is now available to watch on Netflix- and everyone should- it's an incredible story.

12th September 2021
At last! The fabulous 'Everybody's Talking About Jamie' is getting released! It was such a lovely experience working on this with some very talented people. In cinemas and on Amazon Prime from Friday 17th September
28th July 2021
I was lucky enough to work on a film earlier this year about this amazing young woman- Yusra Mardini, and her sister Sara- 'The Swimmers'. Their story is truly inspirational, though it was deeply upsetting to learn about the stories of refugees like them who don't have such a happy end to their journey.

I'll be doing a storyboard 'masterclass' via Zoom next weekend (Saturday 20th March, 2-4pm) with the Cornwall Film Festival. If you know anyone who would be interested in learning more about being a storyboard artist or using storyboards effectively in filmmaking please pass it on!
8th March 2021
On International Women's Day, I'd like to give a shout out to some fantastic female directors I have worked with recently: Daina O Pusic on Tuesday, Sally El Hosaini on The Swimmers, Amanda Brotchie on Gentleman Jack and Joasia Goldyn on Britannia. And all the projects have strong female leads, too. Slowly slowly female-led projects are getting the opportunities they deserve.
4th February 2021
I was interviewed last night for the Cornwall Film Festival, watch/listen link below. We talked about what storyboards are used for, how I became a storyboard artist and how I work with directors.
I will also be holding a Zoom masterclass with them on 20th March if you are interested in learning more about how to create and use storyboards either as an artist or a filmmaker.
If you have any questions or comments about anything I said here, or the masterclass, feel free to comment here or send me a private message.

On The One Show tonight, 7pm. This time it isn't just something I storyboarded but my actual storyboards on screen as part of a short film about the 1930s Flying Squad!
15th January 2021
Blithe Spirit, which I worked on some time ago, is released this evening on Sky Cinema. It's a shame I won't get to see it in a cinema, but still exciting!

I have just started rewatching Merlin with my children. It was one of my first big projects as a storyboard artist, and has a lot of good memories working with some lovely people. It's still a great fun watch, and all available to watch on iPlayer if you're in need of a new box set to binge!

It's International Women's Day, so I'd like to give some appreciation to some amazing female directors I have worked with recently: Alice Troughton on Baghdad Central, Alex Helfrecht on Winterreise, Daina Oniunas-Pusić on Tuesday and China Moo-Young on Pennyworth. Female directors are still not getting the same opportunities as male directors, so it's particularly impressive to see these talented and hard-working women making it in a male-dominated industry.
5th March 2020
A new imagining of War of the Worlds, set in the modern day, that I boarded starts tonight on Fox. Many of the scenes I worked on in the trailer here...

Spotted on the underground! 'Sulphur and White', a film I worked on over a year ago is out 6th March. It is a powerful and moving film about overcoming childhood abuse, from a true story of the life of David Tait.
3rd February 2020
This is going to be amazing- Baghdad Central is a 6 part thriller set in Iraq, 2003. As always, it was great to work with the super-talented Alice Troughton on this.
Baghdad Central is on tonight Channel 4 10pm- don't miss it!
