I'm a freelance filmmaker based in Dundee and Glasgow, where I co-manage a small production company called Trailing Ahead. We specialise in creating short films that help businesses and individuals share their brand and connect with audiences through storytelling. Currently, we're in post-production on a music video for a local artist, which I co-directed, as well as a short documentary about a local singer headlining her first gig.

I'm looking to advance my career in the camera department, with the ultimate goal of becoming a cinematographer. To gain more experience on professional sets, I'm particularly interested in production runner roles and camera trainee opportunities.
