Promotional and factual filmmaking

with an informative or educational angle

for a variety of organisations, agencies

and businesses.

I create films for businesses, research agencies,

councils and specialist organisations, to

demonstrate projects they have run and highlight

their successes.

With all my projects, I aim to capture a process

or event, in a well-shot and informative way.

3.5 min, 2010

This is a short film made with a group of Deaf teenagers for the award winning Biomation project.

In it, they express some of their frustrations about being Deaf, and attitudes they encounter in everyday life. The film takes the viewer through several situations where being Deaf causes the main character a problem – but shows them a way in which to deal with it

to their advantage.

This short promotional film was created for Qa Research as a way for them to promote their Mi:Mo software. The benefit of having the video is that the way the software works is difficult to explain - with the video they can now demonstrate how it works quickly and easily to prospective clients.
