He worked in various production roles for companies such as Ecosse Films and ITV, culminating in a year as a Unit Manager for ITV Studios Manchester. He completed a two year MA in Screenwriting at the NFTS where his short animation Damned won an RTS Award.
His feature length screenplay, Jean, was selected for development on the Regards Croises development scheme, an Anglo-French workshop with stints in London, Paris, Dinard, and Marrakech.
