In my free time I am constantly seeking opportunities to inspire myself creatively. I make short films and music videos independently, taking on roles from producing to 1st AD on narrative projects, and write freelance features on film, contemporary art, and exhibitions for Abundant Art Magazine. I love going to see music, theatre and cinema, with a particular interest in supporting independent and fringe venues.
