Storytelling is at the heart of my passion for filmmaking. I love working on branded content because it gives the opportunity to tell genuine stories whilst creatively weaving the brand into the narrative and visuals. Here are some recent examples I directed/edited.
Documentary filmmaking is like no other. It gives you intimate access into the lives and worlds of people and places that you otherwise would never have seen or met. It’s a privilege and an art form that deserves the utmost respect. Here are some recent examples I directed and/or edited.
Discovery Channel - Camel Festival Saudi Arabia
A documentary following the first female volunteers to the UAE army.
Travel content for me is all about telling the stories of the people and places you visit. Film gives you a medium to do this in a way that nothing else does, it allows you to capture the beauty, emotion and history of a destination and the people that thrive there. I spent 3 years in Africa (based in Uganda) telling stories from the bush and was inspired to start ‘Something Ventured’ with my wife as a passion project to continue doing just that. Here are some of the latest travel films I directed/edited.
During my time in the U.A.E. I worked with production house filmsbynomad to create our own in house TV series ‘Fighting Fit’ which won a Broadcast Pro award for ‘Best long form content’ in 2018. We created 3 seasons which were broadcast on ESPN, OSN and various other channels internationally. We also produced ‘Sultans of Speed’ and various other TV shows. Due to rights issues, a lot of the content is not available to view online but below is some of it.
Through my career in film I have worked on corporate videos for clients including Nokia, Honda, BT, HSBC, Emirates, Dubai tourism, Disney, ADNOC, EY, LandRover and many more. Each has it’s own goals and challenges and I see each one as a unique opportunity to push the boundaries and get the most out of the film for the client and intended audience.
A stylised piece for ‘Anti-Corruption day’ using double exposure’s to blend images of employees and their work environments. Shot in-studio and on-site and blended in the edit with voiceover.
Created for Emirates for its Japanese audience
With sport comes personalities, drama and stories which is why I’ve always enjoyed working on sport content, after a long background in extreme sports, in more recent years I’ve worked on content with some of the top athletes from around the world.
