In 2023, I directed 'The Moor,' which premiered in the First Blood strand of FrightFest, a platform dedicated to debut feature films. It quickly gained recognition as one of the standout entries in its category. Total Film honoured the film with FrightFest's Best Scare award and nominated me for Best Director. My films have played at prestigious festivals such Fantasia, FrightFest, London Shorts, and Raindance.

Prior to 'The Moor,' my short film 'Oscar's Bell' achieved acclaim, sweeping Best Short Film accolades at Dead by Dawn, HollyShorts, and the British Horror Film Festival. It also earned a nomination for the Melies d'Argent Grand Prize.

My short films are featured on Gunpowder and Sky's horror platform ALTER and Short Of The Week.
