I am a London director best known for my personal fusion of liveaction and animation in features like “The Age of Stupid” (Spanner Films), my short films like “Plaza” (Channel 4), Green (FilmFour) and “London 2012”(Film London) as well as my commercial work for Budweiser, BBC Euro 2004 and U2. Coming from a fine art animation background my taste in cinema is operatic, kinetic and to do with powerful visual storytelling. Hence the Italian and Japanese epics, the visceral genre films and the lack of British Social Realism. This taste very much influences my filmmaking practice.
