I work across indie and international films, animation and immersive experiences.

My focus is the moment where ideas become shots: shaping staging, rhythm and camera language with directors, through CG, previs, motion capture and realtime.

I co-founded Level Up, an association for VFX, animation and realtime creators, to support the people and craft behind the images.
