and received an RTS nomination for his episode of the
BBC series "A Very British History" in 2020.
With his latest project "body count", he is turning the real and relatable experiences of Gen Z into short dramatic narratives, to combine current conversations with pop culture in a dark, comic and relevant way.

“body count is about the expendable world of content creators and dating apps. All the stories are real and all of the dialogue comes from the creators and their content.
"I'm fascinated by creator culture and think we’ve already entered a crossover in film, television and digital where filmmakers and their visual grammar is increasingly informed by everyday creators; each of them has the power of an entire film studio in their pocket, and the potential to tell funny or thought-provoking stories in just a few clicks.
"In making
body count, I want to find a middle ground where filmmakers and content creators can collaborate to create socially and culturally relevant films that speak
to a new generation of digital natives."
