After recently graduating from the University of Brighton, I am currently doing an MA Film Studies course at UCL. I am very passionate about cinema and have directed a few short films and a feature, which is currently being screened at various festivals. Above all, I am keen on experimental arts, such as avant-garde or minimalist music and underground film.
