I'm a 22 year old director, actor, stuntman, editor and special effects artist from Manchester England. I have an unbelievable passion for what i do and i strive to make the best possible films i can regardless of budget and resources (or lack there of). I use my qualification in hypnotherapy, and NLP to help drive the emotional impact of my work whilst letting the cinematography, visual effects and sound create the overall experience.
