ABOUT

I’m a writer–director and creative producer working across film, television, branded storytelling and original IP.

I began in documentary filmmaking and investigative journalism. Over 25 years, that work has taken me through more than 20 countries—and taught me to listen before deciding what the story is.

Since then, I’ve written, directed, produced and edited for broadcasters, brands, public organisations and independent producers across the UK, Europe and MENA.

I help turn ideas into projects people can see, understand and support—whether that means developing the story, creating a project bible or pitch trailer, directing a proof of concept, or finding a practical route forward.

Through IMIRZIVE, I also develop original projects and explore how audiences and emerging technology can strengthen the creative process. The tools may change; the people and the story still come first.

WHAT I BRING

  • Story, script and project-bible development

  • Pitch trailers and proof-of-concept films

  • Direction, editing and creative production

  • Packaging, co-production and finance strategy

  • Audience-led and AI-assisted visual development
