About

MY BACKGROUND

With a passion for filmmaking, I have the skillset to produce great films!

I was first introduced to the world of filmmaking when I studied Film and Television Production at Anglia Ruskin University. During my three years there I produced a range of short films; from Drama to Documentary, Horror to Comedy. My Major Project film “The Toilet Club” was nominated for Best Comedy at the 2019 RTS East Student Awards.

Since graduating in 2018, I now work as a Freelance Film Producer. I am currently working on a range of different projects and have recently created my own production company, Firewing Productions.

Alongside this I work at the Upminster Pauline Quirke Academy every Saturday where I teach Film and TV Production to children aged 5 to 18 years old.
