My Services

As a filmmaker and storyteller based in Whitstable, I offer dedicated services to bring compelling narratives to life, from initial concept to the final frame. My approach is rooted in a collaborative spirit, a keen eye for visual storytelling, and a commitment to cinematic excellence. I’m passionate about working with other creatives to craft engaging and memorable films.

Film Director (Narrative Shorts)

As a director, I specialise in crafting impactful **narrative short films** that resonate deeply with audiences. My passion lies in guiding authentic performances and shaping striking visual aesthetics that truly serve the story’s emotional core. I’m adept at translating a script’s vision into a captivating screen experience, meticulously overseeing every stage of production from pre-production planning and casting through to the final edit. My directorial work is driven by a desire to create films that not only entertain but also provoke thought and leave a lasting impression.

Fixed Project Fee (up to 15-minute runtime): £1,000 – £2,500

This fee covers my directorial services for pre-production, on-set direction, and post-production oversight on narrative short films up to 15 minutes in length. Please note that production costs (e.g., crew, equipment, locations, catering, etc.) are separate and will be quoted based on the specific needs and scale of your project.

Screenwriter (Original Scripts)

My screenwriting process is dedicated to developing **original scripts** that captivate from the very first page. I craft compelling narratives with authentic dialogue, rich character arcs, and innovative structures. My expertise lies in exploring themes that challenge and engage, building worlds and characters that feel both unique and relatable. Whether starting from a blank page or developing a nascent idea, I’m committed to delivering polished, thought-provoking screenplays that are both artistically ambitious and viable for production.

Fixed Project Fee (Short Film Script, up to 15 pages): £400 – £800

Filmmaking Consultation & Project Development

Beyond directing and writing, I offer **consultation and project development services** to help other filmmakers navigate the complexities of bringing their ideas to fruition. If you have a concept that needs refining, a script requiring structural analysis, or a project in its early stages that needs strategic guidance, I can provide valuable insights. My aim is to help you overcome creative challenges, streamline your development process, and position your project for success, drawing upon my practical experience in independent film production.
