Welcome to my online portfolio
I’m a film writer with an MA in Film Studies. I’m interested in criticism, culture, and the ideas behind what we watch. My work explores contemporary cinema, television, and the emotional and social forces that shape onscreen storytelling.
I’m experienced in writing for a range of audiences and formats. I am currently open to commissions, essays, criticism, features, and editorial writing.
