Our remit is to find the next generation of Welsh or Welsh based talent, aged 16-35, by working with them to create content that is transmitted on Facebook. In addition, we also produce podcasts and have recently begun a tie in with BBC3 to create character based sketch- show pilots, with the ultimate aim of being commissioned for network. To date I have produced and commissioned over 100 projects, with my contributors going on to do various projects for the BBC and beyond, including Jess Davies's "When Nudes Are Stolen" which aired on BBC3 in April 2021

FIXERS 2013 - 2019
Creative Producer
Fixers is a youth charity, funded by the PSBT and linked with ITV. They work with young people aged 16-25 creating resources to help them tackle issues that affect them and their peers.
As a Creative Producer, I produced over 120 projects. My responsibilites were varied and ranged from scripting, directing and editing films on a monthly basis whilst completing budgets and risk assessments for each project we undertook. In addition, there were considerable design elements to my role; I designed and oversaw numerous projects, from booklets, posters and websites to mock airplane safety cards, roll banners and baby bibs.

dotMOV 2010 - 2013
Head of Production
dotMOV was an award winning production company based in South Wales. Clients included SONY, NHS and Welsh Water. My role here was as lead filmmaker on projects for major international clients, as well as various local and national businesses. In 2013 we shifted focus away from corporate films and toward film projects, culminating in the BAFTA nominated short 'Funday' and our first feature documentary 'Pretty Village', about the Bosnian Civil War.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR 2008 -2010
3rd AD/Runner
I was a 3rd AD on numerous projects for S4/C, ITV and independent feature films, most notably, for the award winning "Arwyr" for S4/C. The role requires a high level of organisation, problem solving and people management. Role varied from organising and implementing the structure of the shoot, liaising between each department HoDs and managing the supporting artists.
