If I Look, I Can See You Everywhere I Go
A man searches London for an online friend.
This film was shot mainly on iPhone, as I wanted to try and create a film that feels like it comes from the digital world, and encapsulates the feeling of both the intimacy and the distance that comes from online friendships.

One Hundred and One Nights
Each night, a man visits a woman at her home and reads her to sleep.
This film was shot over two nights on a minimal budget, using my parents as key cast members. Although neither of them have any acting experience, I wanted to use cast with a preexisting connection, and try and draw it out through the central monologue.

For No One
A young man views flats he can’t afford, looking for something he can’t find.
With this film I wanted to emphasise the contrast between everyday and luxury spaces in London, and particularly how that manifests in housing, with the spate of unaffordable flats that are currently being built all around the city.
