About me
Having worked as a director on several large Hollywood projects, I feel I have the experience to work on big-budget projects aimed at a global market. My particular strength is, alongside my visual flair, a unique combination of matinee good looks and professional vision.
During the course of my career I have worked with many leading filmmakers (Martin Scoresayshe, Manfred Hitchcock) and actors (Tom Holmes, Katie Cruz). I am comfortable working in both film and television. My credits include several blockbusters as well as more cerebral social portraits for the small screen.
Other relevant strengths are that I can:
- work to budget deadlines
- work with others while leading from the front
