Bio
I am a director, producer that shoots and edits.
I have made films ranging from 5 seconds to 100 minutes, gaining international recognition and a wallpaper of awards working on more than 300 commercials, two internationally acclaimed feature length documentaries with cinema and television releases, and collaborate with the BBC amongst others on branded content.
I specialise in people, stories and the incredibly beautiful, my love for travel led me to productions in over 20 countries, and 5 continents, working with a diverse range of cultures and people.
I conceptualised and directed award-winning independent feature documentary ‘Laya Project’, a visual musical journey through the 2004 Asian tsunami-affected countries. The film was recognised as official selection in more than 20 international film festivals around the globe, winning 4. The film was distributed worldwide on the National Geographic channel.
As director, producer, writer and as director of photography under the alias Harvey Morpheus, I released internationally acclaimed feature documentary ‘A Good Day to Die, Hoka Hey’. This real-life story documents the extraordinary adventures of British conflict photographer Jason P. Howe and the public’s right to know. The film was screened as official selection in 10 international film festivals and is available on Prime, I-Tunes and Neon.
I was in production on my next feature documentary ‘There Must Be Some Kind of Way Outta Here’ the Tim Page story, whom the drug-lucid ‘descending into madness’ war photographer played by Dennis Hopper in Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘Apocalypse Now’ was based on.
The film has been put on hold indefinitely. Tim Page was laid to rest on December the 3rd, 2022 in the 100-day Buddhist tradition.
With this, my work circumstances have changed and I’m looking for a new project to dig into. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any clarification or just to have a chat.
