I direct, produce and shoot films all over the world, telling complex stories and highlighting under-reported issues – always keeping people at the heart of the story.
Venezuela
After Donald Trump’s intervention in Venezuela, reporter Sandra Gathmann and I wanted to understand what that shift really meant on the ground. As promises of an oil-driven recovery took hold, this film looks beyond the headlines to the people living through it.
With access for international media restricted, we worked with trusted crews inside the country, alongside a team in London, to film as events unfolded.
This is a snapshot of a country at a turning point.

Syria
In Syria, the fight for justice and accountability is far from over. With as many as 300,000 people forcibly disappeared, the search for answers remains urgent – and deeply complex.
Filmed on the ground, we meet families of the missing, forensic teams working to identify the dead, and investigators risking their lives to document evidence of war crimes. This documentary captures the tensions shaping Syria today, where calls for justice sit alongside fragile stability, contested power, and the threat of renewed violence. Through intimate access and exclusive interviews, the film looks at the human cost of unresolved trauma, and asks whether meaningful accountability is possible in a country still reckoning with its past.

Gaza
The Gaza Man is an observational documentary I conceived, pitched and produced, chronicling Palestinian weightlifter Mohammed Hamada and his brother’s escape from war-torn Gaza. Despite being forced to eat animal food, and losing 18 kilograms of weight, Mohammed was determined to make it to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
Produced exclusively for YouTube, the project presented enormous challenges – from navigating language barriers and limited communication, to coordinating an international production team and managing sports licensing requirements. I was involved in every stage, from filming and narrative development to editing for a digital audience, ensuring the story would immediately engage viewers.
The film has over 700,000 views on YouTube. It won Best Feature Film at the Shorty Awards and received Bronze at the New York Festivals TV & Film Awards.

The Hague
What’s the Point of International Law? dives into the messy, high-stakes world of global justice. Shortlisted at the AIB 2025 Awards, the video exposes how power, politics, and accountability collide.
I produced and filmed large sections of this documentary, guiding every stage from concept to final cut. Filming in London and The Hague, we turned complex legal systems into an engaging piece of explanatory journalism.

As a producer, videographer and photographer on the team, I pitched episode ideas, interviewed guests, co-wrote scripts, and coordinated multi-camera studio shoots. I also filmed on-the-road documentaries, edited the majority of our digital content, and created bespoke graphics.
